Offering hope, health and support for children & young adults healing from PANS & PANDAS
About us
The JBC PANS & PANDAS Foundation was started in memory of John B. Cunningham to honor all those families suffering from PANS & PANDAS. Our mission is to offer hope, health, and support for children & young adults healing from PANS & PANDAS. We will do this by providing grants to allow eligible children and young adults with PANS/PANDAS to receive proper treatment as well as raising awareness about PANS/PANDAS. PANS & PANDAS occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to inflammation of the brain. Although the mechanisms are the same, PANS & PANDAS are defined by different triggers. Learn more here:https://www.jbcfund.org/about-pans-pandas

CONGRATULATIONS TAITE!!! You showed all of us NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! Taite was beyond exceptional representing JBC and the entire PANS/ PANDAS community. Thank you to all your generous donations Taite exceeded his fundraising goal. And most importantly he has provided so much HOPE to children/young adults who are still battling PANS/PANDAS. JBC is immensely thankful to Taite, his family and all of you for your support! JBC could not be more thrilled with our first participation in the Boston Marathon 💙💛 Enjoy this highlight video made by one of Taite's closest friends, who has three brothers affected by PANS/PANDAS. #Boston128 #pandaspans #nothingisimpossible #jbcfund

Taite, thank you for sharing your story & raising crucial funds & awareness for PANS/ PANDAS!!!As far as we are concerned you have won the marathon!!! Go out there Monday and soak it all in. 💙💛 P.A.N.S. disorder was a shock to the childhood of Duxbury's Taite Panton. The 19-year-old raised $10,000 ahead of running Monday's Boston Marathon. https://lnkd.in/eF8Meyju
