My journey with IC has been a long and difficult one! I was diagnosed in 2005, and since then I have had to have bladder surgery every 3-4 months in an attempt to preserve my quality of life. With the help of the ICA, now serving as Vice Chair, I am able to share my story and help other patients who are suffering with the debilitating pain and symptoms of this disease. With your generous donation, the ICA can continue to provide support and education to patients and healthcare providers. Please help support the ICA!

Thank you for visiting my ICA fundraising page! I am breaking the silence on IC/BPS and relying on your support. As part of the ICA’s 40th Anniversary fundraising campaign, I am wholeheartedly committed to supporting their vital work. Today, I am asking for your help.

IC/BPS, a chronic pain disease, affects over 12 million Americans. Its primary symptom is excruciating bladder pain, accompanied by urinary urgency and frequency. Many patients suffer without a diagnosis, missing out on crucial lifestyle changes for relief.

Why I support the ICA: They advocate for IC/BPS research on Capitol Hill, raise awareness, and serve as a central hub for healthcare providers, researchers, and millions of patients. Your donation directly impacts this vital cause.

Join me in the fight against IC/BPS - every gift counts!
