Take the 10-10-10 Niemann-Pick Disease Challenge!


Intriguing dates such as 10/10/10 don’t come around all that often, and it seems fitting to proactively observe this once-in-a-lifetime occasion, especially since it falls during October National Niemann-Pick Disease Awareness Month!

Participating in the NNPDF Central Office Challenge and showing support for the many families coping with Niemann-Pick Disease is one simple way you can mark the day by making a positive difference. With just a few minutes of your time, you can help raise awareness and funding for all whose lives are affected and cut short by Niemann-Pick Disease.

Our 10-10-10 Challenge is to get 300 people to share information about Niemann-Pick Disease with 10 other people, via email, Facebook, Twitter, or other means (even via the hospitable old-fashioned way, face-to-face!).

Spreading the word about this rare disease is key to raising the essential funding for research which will find the treatments and cure we all work fervently toward, and to providing important family services for those who rely on us. Please, will you help us meet our goal? Click here for six easy ways you can help us meet this October Awareness Month challenge!

One decidedly FUN way to participate in October Niemann-Pick Disease Awareness Month is to shop the Online Auction! Bidding is now open! Bid high, bid often!

It's also not too late to donate items to the auction. Check out this page for more details, or contact the NNPDF Central Office.

As always, Thank You most sincerely for the continued love and support you give the families who deal with the challenges and heartbreak of Niemann-Pick Disease!
