A Special PANDAS Awareness Day Drop
Don't miss your chance to bid on some great artwork and support an important cause
In December 2016, 11-year old Jonathan was diagnosed with PANDAS, a rare autoimmune disease that affects the brain and central nervous system. PANDAS is triggered by a misdirected immune response to viral and bacterial infections. 1 in 200 children in the U.S. are believed to have this illness and expensive treatments are oftentimes not covered by insurance. When in PANDAS flare, Jonathan isn’t able to live a normal life. His symptoms make it difficult for him to do normal activities such as going to school, and afterschool activities. But, despite the complications he faces, he’s never let PANDAS hold him back.
Knowing the impact this condition has had on him personally, Jonathan has decided to tap into his passion of creating digital art with Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) in order to raise money for his treatment and the PANDAS Network, as well as continue to increase awareness for the PANDAS condition.
Half of the proceeds collected from Jonathan's digital art will go directly to treating his condition and half will go towards helping the PANDAS Network further research and support this condition.
