When Fred and I decided to establish Jeffrey’s Foundation, we knew it was both a grand idea and a challenge. We had never met anyone else with Primary Immunodeficiency and the knowledge, support and information networks were less than perfect. Yet, this is why we knew it was so important to proceed… it was time to “Do Something!”
Recently, Kobi Yamada’s “What Do You Do with an Idea?” was given to me as a gift, and I have not been able to stop thinking about the message it conveys.
At the opening of the book, the reader is asked…
When we allow ourselves to dream, to be inspired, and not give in to intimidation and fear – these dreams can grow into miraculous realities. If we nurture our ideas, they can become larger than we ever expected; there can be an exponential amount of potential and growth!
Our idea was to create a Foundation where we could help spread awareness, increase education, help make strides in PI research and knowledge, as well as, provide patient support. This idea to “Do Something” has manifested into a worldwide network of physicians, patient organizations, public service announcements, international educational materials, research programs and so much more!
We turned our idea into Hope, Advocacy, and Action.
We are excited to see what the future will bring and how Jeffrey’s Foundation will continue to grow. We have never and will never stop working towards our dream, and we hope you never give up on yours.
