Thank You from Our Executive Director

As we plan for the season of giving thanks and gathering with family and friends, I want to be the first to thank each of you for your loyal support to the RLS Foundation. Your gifts have allowed a once tiny organization of a committed group of volunteers to grow and become the voice of the RLS community for 25 years.

We value our relationship with you, and want you to know that the RLS Foundation is here when you need us. As a nonprofit organization, our priority is clear: to support and serve the RLS community. Through our network of resources, you can remain connected to people who care and can relate to your concerns.

• Our online Discussion Board and blog, as well as our social media outlets ( Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others) provide instant connection to others.
• Our staff is here to help you with a listening ear and informational materials, and can help identify RLS providers in your community and at certified RLS Quality Care Centers.
• Our network of volunteers are there to support you via phone or email, and through comforting and informational support group meetings.

On November 28, we hope you will join us on #GivingTuesday, the global celebration of giving. Membership is the lifeblood of our organization, and allows for us to provide integral resources to everyone suffering from this often-misunderstood disease. Your $35 each year directly strengthens our programs, including sponsoring research, producing educational events and materials, maintaining support groups, and providing assistance online.

Considering membership but haven't taken action? Know someone that would benefit from membership? Want to give the gift of membership to someone in need? Take action so we can reach our goal of 25 NEW Foundation members by the end of #GivingTuesday!

Your support makes a real difference in the lives of individuals living with RLS and their families.

Sincerely,

Karla Dzienkowski, RN, BSN

Executive Director
