Moira's Mission

Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS) is a very rare neurological and autoimmune disease.

Our mission is to bring awareness of disease and raise funds that will directly support the launch of the global SPS Patient Contact Registry to drive research.

If you want to make a difference today- please consider supporting Type 1 Diabetes!! We have a very special person in our lives with this disease and we appreciate your support to help find a cure.

Exciting News! 💸

A generous donor has pledged to match donations up to $15,000 for our Cellmates on the Run Chicago Marathon team! This means every dollar you donate will be doubled—making twice the impact in our fight to cure type 1 diabetes.

Now is the perfect time to support our mission! 🙌

The Moira's Mission hat crew was on a roll today, making local deliveries and spreading joy wherever they went! I am so grateful for these wonderful women who have been my support system. The Carol and Michael Fox family have been our dear friends as we raised our kids together, and now our kids are excelling at Marquette University! Good times ahead, Claire and Jackie! Carol, your kindness and encouragement know no bounds. You prepared all the donations for the silent auction in March with such care. If you know Carol and Mike, you are blessed to have them in your life. They make my SPS journey more manageable. Love you both! Moira's Mission Michael Fox The Stiff

Well- this is AMAZING!

I challenge all the Moira's Mission crew to share this and add a note how you are a supporter of those who have SPS.

We had over 700 people at the Moira Scully Papp/Moira’s Mission event on March 3rd.

Let’s blow this up!!

Share and invite others to support !

We're honored to have the support of four Celine Dion tribute artists as they've joined together to create a medley of songs to raise awareness of SPS and funding to support critical awareness. This is a great way to bring those outside the SPS community into our battle against SPS and we're proud to have their support!

Thank you to:

A family can look very different at times in your life. And for the GOOD.
My Farrell Family goes back early day of Saint Catherine’s, Joe Farrell and I then went to sister schools for high school together, then Joe went Notre Dame and I went to Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN. And if that wasn’t enough time together, we started our first jobs together and worked for roughly 2/3 years at the same company. Then- we both settled in the media business. Throw in our first Triathlon togther and both of our families in tow for all of these life events and you have family.
The Farrell family is my family. How blessed am I. Joan Farrell was a dear pal of my mothers and always a special gift to me after my mom went to Heaven. Special- very special and took me even to buy my wedding dress! Joe Sr. (✝️)gave the best hugs and he and Joan treated me like their own.
Jodi Farrell was very instrumental in Moira's Mission as she was The Fantastic Sponsor Fulfillment Leader.Joe worked hard on the MM committee.. All this beautiful crew came to Moira’s Mission to support and they were very fun!
Shown wearing MM hats is Joe and Jodi! Then we have Aunt Jodi with all of her nieces and nephews!
Best Aunt!
Last pictures shows us all together!

We have this traveling duo headed from Bethesda, MD to take Cameron Zier to school at The University of Colorado! Current pit stop shown in Pittsburgh. Tara Zier and Cam are wearing their SPSRF 2024 Symposium hats! This Symposium gathered patients, doctors and researchers which was hosted by The Stiff Person Syndrome Research Foundation to communicate how everyone is working on a cure for SPS. What an incredible weekend last May for all those who have SPS!
It’s a very special week for our family because Elmhurst, Illinois is one of their stops and The Papps get to spend time with them. Safe travels west and can’t wait to see you when you arrive!!
Tara Zier is the incredible Founder of the SPSRF! Tara and her team work tirelessly to move SPS forward to a cure. We are all so lucky to have her at the helm!🍀🍀

My extremely loyal highschool friend, Katie Tyson, is Walking Lake Geneva lake path with her Moira's Mission sweatshirt.
Gorgeous morning on the lake!
Katie Rauen Tyson rounded up a hell of a crew to attend Moira's Mission in March. And let’s give a nod to another layer of our friendship- my lovely mom and Katie’s sweet mother in law were dearest friends. The Rauen, Tyson and Scully love continues on!❤️🍀❤️🍀

What a glorious day for golf! This remarkable mother-son duo is proudly representing Moira's Mission on the course. Tracey Uruba and Liam Uruba are relishing their final rounds together before Liam embarks on his collegiate journey at Purdue. Trac and I share a rich history, having grown up together at Lauderdale Lakes, Wisconsin, where my parents and Trac’s grandparents were close friends. Our friendship blossomed at Saint Mary's College, Notre Dame, IN. The most heartwarming aspect of this image is the towering presence of Tracey, standing tall and proud alongside her accomplished son!

There is a very special group of people who have truly watched over me for my entire life. These special people are the great pals of my siblings. As the youngest of 6 Scullys, you have an extended family built right in. This crew has known me forever! They all… and there are many… care about me and I love them all! They all made Moira's Mission possible and super strong!!
Today, we have Brian Coughlin and Peter Lawler!!!❤️🍀 playing golf with John Scully. Cathy Scully
Thank you all for support and love!!

The Elmhurst community excels! The Brown and Papp families raised their 20-year-olds at Immaculate Conception Grade School. Inspired by their shared love of Barre Class, Jewel and Moira embarked on a transformative fitness journey together. When we ask, the community answers with support! Wishing Jewel and Dan a wonderful trip to Ireland and an unforgettable experience exploring the Di**le Peninsula.🍀🍀❤️❤️✝️✝️
