Voices of SPS: Joey Sample

Joey calls himself a “medical unicorn,” a fantastically sarcastic way of saying he is extremely difficult to diagnose and treat, especially since he tested negative for the GAD antibody, one of the hallmarks of SPS. He also claims to be a terrible fundraiser (even though he works with a very successful fundraising arm of the Smithsonian). But when he became The SPSRF’s first official Facebook and Instagram fundraiser, something magical happened.
