Cadasil Association
http://www.cadasilassociation.org/
The Cadasil Association is a non-profit organization working to educate and raise awareness of the rare hereditary condition, Cadasil.
Cadasil is a serious disease in which symptoms often are misdiagnosed as other neurological disorders, such as MS.
This inherited condition causes strokes and other impairments. It is caused by mutations of the NOTCH 3 gene.
The Cadasil Association is not only working to ensure its recognition by the medical community so that it can be correctly diagnosed, but also to aid in finding a treatment and ultimately a cure.

Your impressive theme is going to make a difference, Cheryl. Thanks, Denise
I sure hope it does Denise! Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the challenge!
I worked for many years in the healthcare segment and I never heard of this syndrome – thanks for broadening my horizon.
I don’t think there are many that are aware of this medical condition. Hopefully with the Internet it will be easier to bring awareness to it!
Thank you, Cheryl. Great to know there are people in the world who really work hard to make a difference.
I only wish there were more! Thank you for taking the time to read and comment Silvia.
This makes me wonder about all the people I hear of who are MS diagnosed. Seems like a blanket diagnosis when you read about other conditions like this one.
I thought the same thing!
I must say you’ve chosen a Noble theme…!
Thank you! This is the second year I have done this theme.
Great theme! I definitely never heard of this disease.
Thank you! I had never heard of it either until I came across the website.
I’ve never heard of this disease before so I appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Found your blog through the A to Z Challenge. Keep up the good work! http://www.dianeweidenbenner.com
It seems not many people have heard of this disease. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment. I just visited your blog as well. Great blog!!
What a fascinating theme and such a great idea! I love that you’re making us aware of organizations and issues we might not already know about. One more way to contribute. Thanks!
I used this theme last year as well. Some of the organizations actually thanked me, which I thought was very nice! I have always liked helping people and I am just glad that I have an avenue in which to do that, even if it’s in this small way.
Love your theme — really a great resource you are providing!
Thank you! I hope posting these non-profit organizations helps them out in some way!
