Dear Friends, More voices, experiences, and perspectives strengthens DSF's impact. That’s why we’re thrilled to welcome our three newest board members to the team! We invite you to learn more about them here, but we can't resist sharing just a few reasons why we're excited they are adding their expertise to our work. - Josh Goldman and his family have been personally touched by Dravet syndrome, and he’s dedicated to finding a cure while providing resources to patients and families. He brings experience in finance, planning, fundraising, and strategy to the DSF team, helping your donations go farther.
- Clare Carey gained a first-hand understanding of the vital support DSF provides families after her daughter was diagnosed at 17 months. Her experience with DSF empowers her to be an incredible advocate on behalf of our patients and a voice for our families.
- Nathan Batt brings his personal experience with Dravet syndrome after both his sons received a diagnosis. Nathan joins as a passionate supporter of DSF's work, and his goal is to spread awareness, raise funds, and work with companies to find better treatments, and one day, a cure.
We can't wait to see all of the incredible ways they'll support our DSF patients and families. Please join us in welcoming Josh, Clare, and Nathan to #teamDSF! Warmly, Dravet Syndrome Foundation | |
