The Annette M. Ruppert foundation is a non-profit organization for Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). The foundation was started by Annette's family to honor her memory, and bring awareness. The lack of information and training that was encountered while Annette was alive  was frustrating and heartbreaking. We at the Annette M. Ruppert Foundation want to provide awareness to as many people as possible so they may receive the medical help needed as quickly as possible.
