With your help, we were able to raise $4852 out of our $5000 goal on #GivingTuesday! Thank you to all who participated in our interviews as well as a huge thank you to those who shared their stories, the videos and gave to CVSA on #GivingTuesday. Our stories of Hope and Helping were shared all over the globe! The number of people reached on CVSA's Facebook page went up 2879% in the last month!! We asked all of you to share the videos and together we helped reach thousands of people. Not only did you share the videos, but we also had 40 people start their own Facebook fundraisers in support of CVSA. A record number of people encouraging support! Thank you to everyone who supported CVSA on #GivingTuesday!

You can watch the presentation in its entirety on CVSA's YouTube channel.

We continue to provide opportunities like this once a month. In December, we will hear from Dr. Sally Tarbell. Dr. Sally Tarbell is a former Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, as she has recently retired. She has been an active member of the CVSA medical advisory committee for 16 years. She has been actively engaged in treating CVS patients and in conducting research to understand the factors that contribute to illness onset and health related quality of life. She has a particular interest in the relationship between anxiety symptoms and CVS, to develop treatments to manage anxiety to potentially reduce the frequency of episodes and to assist with coping with the symptoms of CVS. She was a member of the adult guidelines committee and is a current member of the pediatric committee to update the guidelines for the management of pediatric CVS.
