Run Aintree Half - May

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare autoimmune condition affecting the peripheral nervous system. It causes the nerves in the arms and legs to become inflamed and stop working, often leading to temporary paralysis.
An estimated 1-2 people per 100,000 are affected by GBS annually with a further 1-2 per 200,000 being diagnosed with CIDP and 1 per 200,000 with MMN both similar but longer-lasting conditions.
About 80% of those with GBS will make a good recovery, but unfortunately 5% of people will not survive and the other 15% may experience long term residual effects ranging from limited mobility or dexterity, to life-long dependency on a wheelchair.
GAIN is the only national organisation in the UK and Republic of Ireland dedicated to supporting people affected by these conditions.
What we do:
• Help people understand and manage GBS, CIDP and the associated variants
• Promote and facilitate both clinical and non-clinical research
• Raise awareness of the charity and conditions
GAIN receives no government funding, relying on the generosity of the public to support our work. Further information can be found at www.gaincharity.org.uk
