MOG Project Youth Champions

The MOG Project Youth Champion Program is first and foremost a way to say thank you and honor the siblings and even close friends of kids with MOGAD for all they do to help their families and the sacrifices they have to make in order to support the ones they care about! Many parents are often looking for ways to assure their other children that even though a lot of focus is directed toward their child with MOGAD, they are just as important as they are members of a family unit that stands together to help their loved one and they themselves are loved equally as well.

 

While not necessary as part of being a MOG Project Youth Champion, this can also be a great way to get kids who have a family member or friend involved in advocacy for MOG Antibody Disease (MOGAD). It is an opportunity to inspire hope by empowering them to do something good to help kids in their local community and to support someone they love who may be going through something very difficult.

Here are a few suggestions that a MOG Project Youth Champion might be interested in doing that can make a MOGnificent difference in the lives of MOGAD patients if they choose to do so:

  • School Projects: teach others in their school about MOGAD.
  • Hold a school or local event to raise funds for The MOG Project through our Partners for Progress Campaign.
  • Help us send a special gift to sick kids with MOGAD in the hospital or just to bring their spirits up!
  • Start a support group!
  • Get creative! Find a fun activity for your local MOG Mates to bring kids with MOGAD together.

We welcome kids under the age of 18 nominated by a parent or guardian who do not have MOGAD, but who should be recognized as a MOG Project Youth Champion and if they would like, join the fight for someone they love who has MOGAD. For those kids who do have MOGAD, please visit our MOG Project Children’s Ambassador page. To nominate your child as a MOG Project Youth Champion, please fill out the form below:
