I'm Mickey Trescott, co-founder of Autoimmune Wellness, and today I'm here with a special bonus episode to share some exciting news, a big vision for the AIP community, and an invitation for you to join me in making a difference. On October 12th, 2025, the Autoimmune Association is hosting its annual Hope Journey Walk in Washington, D.C., I will be there in person, joining forces with my friends and colleagues, Jamie Hartman and Marie Noelle Marquis of the AIP Summit PoD.C.ast. Together, we've created team AIP, a community driven fundraiser to raise awareness for autoimmune disease and show the power of diet and lifestyle in healing. Our team goal for the fundraiser is to raise $10,000.We've already made it almost 10% of the way there, but we can't do it without you. Here's how you can join us. First, come walk with us in D.C. if you're local, or if you can travel to the D.C. area, I would love to meet you in person, connect with other members of the AIP community and we can all walk side by side at this inspiring event. Two, you can walk with us virtually. So wherever you are in the world, you can register for the walk, walk in your own community and be a part of Team AIP from afar. You can even organize your own small group in your community to walk together and get some of that community support.Three, support our fundraiser. You can help us reach our $10,000 goal in two ways. First, you can purchase a team AIP hat at autoimmunewellness.com/aiphat. This is a really great way to show your AIP pride and a hundred percent of the proceeds go to the fundraiser. We also will be wearing these hats as a group on the D.C. walk.So if you are planning to attend in D.C. make sure that you get your order in, in time for the event so that you can match. if that's something that you wanna do. You can also donate directly at autoimmunewellness.com/donate. Every dollar counts and brings us closer to our goal in supporting the Autoimmune Association's mission.So why are we doing this? The Autoimmune Association is the leading national organization dedicated to autoimmune awareness, advocacy, education, and research. Greater funding means more progress and understanding autoimmune diseases, more support for patients like us, and more recognition of how approaches like AIP can fit into the larger conversation about autoimmune care.At this point, you should be very familiar about the work that we do here at Autoimmune Wellness to spread the word about diet and lifestyle therapy and especially the medical studies that are starting to come out, helping those of us with autoimmune disease figure out different things that are gonna help us live our best and healthiest lives despite autoimmune disease. This walk is about more than fundraising. It's about visibility. It's about showing the strength of the AIP community, meeting each other, gathering and raising our voices together so that people living with autoimmune disease are seen, supported, and better understood. And before I wrap up, I wanna give a big shout out to the incredible AIP business sponsors who are helping make team AIP possible. The brands that are gonna be supporting this include SIP Herbals, Get Saucy, Eat Gangster, Urban AIP, Eve's Wellness and Autoimmune Vault. These businesses are not only...
