TED Builders Workshop 2024 ~ Hosted by Immunovant / New York City
November 12-14 the TED Community Builders gathered in New York City at the Immunovant office on 37th Street. It was an opportunity to brainstorm ideas for our 2025 TED Quality of Life Program. We then flipped the TED patient narrative and explored the idea of our individual “Hero’s Journey” with thyroid eye disease. Jacque lead us in a building blocks art project with a focus on HOPE for the future of TED. We learned new skills related to social media and support groups. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner with Jaye Bea, our host from Immunovant. And concluded the workshop with a heartfelt conversation about our individual experience with this rare autoimmune.
A special thanks to the team at Immunovant who hosted a reception for us, gave us the space for our workshop, ensured we had excellent meals, and reminded us that we are supported in the most beautiful ways.
