Monthly Support Group and weekly Zoom chats.

The address is 3239 E 2nd Ave, Denver, CO 80206. Parking is free in the visitor garage on the west side of the building. Our meetings will be on the 2nd Saturday of the month from 1-3pm. Our next meeting will be Saturday, January 11th.
Our December meeting holiday event was a great success. Click here for photos.
Our February meeting will be Saturday, February 8th from 1-3. Please join us for a presentation from UCB given by Alexandria Harrold, PhD. The presentation will include information about zilucoplan, an FDA-approved treatment for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are anti-AChR antibody positive, including how it works and what patients and caregivers can expect with this treatment.

She earned her doctorate in neuroscience from the Vollum Institute at Oregon Health and Sciences University and spent her post-doctoral fellowship at the Children's Cancer Therapy Development Institute in Portland, Oregon. During her 15 years in research, Dr. Harrold’s work focused on understanding the genetic and molecular processes involved in spinal cord and neuromuscular development, as well as developing novel therapies for neurological conditions.
