About
Vision
The Vision of the MEN2b Foundation is to assist MEN2b members and their families globally. The assistance will need to fit one of 4 criteria, spiritual guidance, mental health, medical references, and financial assistance. All this is done with the hope of easing some of the stress placed on patients and families with an MEN2b diagnosis.
Mission
The Mission of the MEN2b Foundation is to reduce some of the stress people with MEN2b have to deal with, as well as family members of MEN2b patients. We want to build a community of hope, friendship and knowledge.
The four pillars of stress that this foundation will focus on are spiritual, mental health, medical, and financial.
WHY IS THE MALLARD DUCK OUR MASCOT?
The Mallard Duck was chosen as our mascot because the duck is a symbol of calmness, resilience, and determination. It appears that the duck is calmly gliding across the water however under the surface it is vigorously paddling. The hard work is what it takes to overcome currents to get to the desired goal. Ducks are also adaptable and can thrive in many different environments and situations. Finally, ducks are social creatures. They have strong family connections and are often seen in flocks. This is the very purpose of our foundation, to create connections among people affected by MEN2b based on their resilience, determination, and overall sense of family.
