Our Inspiration
Patricia Wood, the founder of the NBIA Disorders Association in 1996, has made it her mission to support families affected by NBIA disorders. Her steadfast commitment, boundless compassion, and tireless efforts have touched the lives of countless individuals and families who have faced the challenges of this rare condition. Patricia's leadership and vision have been instrumental in advancing our understanding of NBIA disorders and providing vital support and resources to affected families.
She states, "One of my goals from the start was to build a strong community so that we could emotionally support and learn from each other and find happiness and friendship as part of our journey in searching for treatments and cures for all our NBIA individuals."
The NBIA Disorders Association created the "Patricia and Kimberly Wood Family Support Fund" to commemorate the organization's 20th Anniversary. This fund is a touching tribute to Patricia and her daughter, Kimberly Wood. Kimberly's courageous battle with idiopathic NBIA has deeply inspired Patricia and played an integral role in shaping her dedication and journey.
