Leap into NMO Action!
February 29 in Cleveland, OH
It's the 5th annual Connor B Judge Foundation (CBJF) fundraiser to raise awareness and research funds for NMO!
Come join the CBJF board for food, drinks, raffle prizes, music, and more - all for a good cause! Proceeds will help the CBJF raise awareness and research funds for neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMO/NMOSD), a rare neurological autoimmune disease that causes blindness and paralysis.
What is NMO?
Neuromyelitis Optica is a rare neurological autoimmune disease - meaning the body’s own immune cells begin to attack components of the nervous system, predominantly the optic nerve and spinal cord.

All proceeds of the Connor B. Judge Foundation are used to fund research for the treatment and cure of NMO. We help support ongoing nerve repair research performed by Tesar Laboratory at Case Western Reserve University.
