July 27, 2025 at 1:51 AMExpiredHuntington's Disease Society of America TeamHope Walk/5K RunNeuropsych Club07/27/202509/27/2025Beth Gustafson, Assistant Professor of the Physical Therapy Program at Gannon University and Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) TeamHope walk co-coordinator, recently inquired if LECOM’s NeuroPsych Club could provide volunteer support for the yearly HDSA Team Hope Walk & 5K Run fundraiser event. I believe this event offers a valuable opportunity for our club members to come together in support of the greater Erie community. It also serves to raise awareness and educate the public about Huntington’s disease, a complex neurodegenerative condition that we’ve heavily focused upon in our neuroanatomy courses. Through what we’ve learned, we’ve deepened our understanding of the challenges faced not only by patients, but by their families as well. Through this event, we hope to extend our support to those in the Erie community and show that they’re not alone in their efforts. The fundraiser walk will take place on Saturday September 27, 2025 and will be located at Presque Isle State Park, Beach 1. Volunteers will help with set-up, basket raffles, registration, advocacy efforts, cheering on walk/run participants, and clean up. The volunteering period will span from 6:30AM to 12PM, with each volunteer working a minimum of 2 hour shifts.

I believe NAMIWalks carries a powerful message, inspiring and advocating "Mental Health for All,” and our club at LECOM envisions a future where all physicians stand together to promote and prioritize mental health as an essential part of every patient's healthcare journey. The fundraiser walk will take place on Sunday, September 14th, 2025, and will be located at Penn State Behrend - Junker Center Parking Lot 5285 Station Rd, Erie, PA 16510.

June 4, 2025 at 11:08 AMCompleteNDMA Bone Marrow Cheek Swab at LECOM Club FairSSP06/04/202508/09/2025This event request is in regards to hosting a table at the 2025 Involvement Fair that will allow students to get their cheek swabbed in order to join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) registry. NMDP is an organization that helps people who desperately need stem cell transplants who are unable to find a donor with an HLA match. There is only a 0.001% of a patient finding an HLA match of all six HLA genes from an unrelated donor. If by chance a student is someone’s match, they always have the choice to decline donating. However, donating stem cells is described to be very similar to donating plasma, and through the process students could potentially save someone’s life. The National Marrow Donor Program is willing to provide all necessary cheek-swabbing supplies for this event.
