Thank you to our Calgary #LightUp4PANS community for coming together!
Because no one should face PANS/PANDAS alone. Feeling seen and supported gives us the strength to keep going and the courage to step outside our comfort zones.
Community can be a lifeline. 💚

SHOW UP FOR GIANNA. SHOW UP FOR IDAHO KIDS. 💚
On October 9, Idaho families are gathering at the Capitol for one simple reason: kids with PANS/PANDAS need treatment, not denials.
Gianna (“Gigi”) Coulter of Melba is one of those kids. Her story is why this bill carries her name. PANS/PANDAS is an immune-driven condition that can suddenly change a child’s personality, behavior, and ability to function. IVIG and other treatments can help—when insurance actually covers them. Many Idaho families are still being told no.
This is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day. It’s also the day we show lawmakers that Idahoans expect coverage for medically necessary care.
📅 Thursday, October 9 | 4–6 p.m.
📍 Idaho State Capitol, Boise
Wear green. Families will speak. Legislators will speak.
There will be a way to sign in support of Gianna’s Bill on site.
If you have a child, know a family going through this, or simply believe sick kids shouldn’t have to fundraise or fight insurers for care—come stand with them.
Show up for Idaho kids. 💚
“She was clawing at her mum and screaming, ‘Make it stop.’”
