Wow. World Primary Immunodeficiency Week 2015 has come to a close, and what an amazing and inspiring week it was!

Thank you, to all of you, who helped make this year so special. Whether it was attending our Virtual Party, participating in a Balloons and Bubbles Launch, helping us “Burst the Bubble” about PI, or contributing to our Appreciation Garden.

Over the last twenty eight years, Fred and I have watched the advancements in the way people with Primary Immunodeficiency are diagnosed and treated.  And every year Fred and I am more and more amazed at the amount of support our community is shown from all over the world.

We have watched WPIW grow into an international celebration that truly unites patients, families, friends, physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals to raise awareness and provide education about PI in order to achieve earliest possible diagnosis.

WPIW is a celebration of how far our community has come, while also keeping us motivated for the future.  Every year WPIW is so special and there are so many reasons why it is so special and important to us..

  • Together we have and continue to make a difference
  • Together we have and continue to bring awareness around the world
  • Together we empower children, parents, families, friends, educators, nurses, and doctors
  • Together we acquire answers for tomorrow
  • Together we build memories along the way
  • Together we save lives so today’s kids can be tomorrow's future
  • We believe there are no limits and no borders
  • We believe in our community and you believe in us
  • We believe in our mission, and our mission is not complete

 

..But most of all, Jeffrey would have wanted it this way.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for making WPIW as amazing and special and wonderful as it was.
