Thanks to generous people like you, 2024 was a year of unprecedented success for the Peggy Lillis Foundation. Among our many accomplishments, we are proudest of these three: 

• Introduced legislation with the help of Rep. Yvette D. Clarke (D-NY), the “Peggy Lillis C. difficile Inclusion Act” (H.R. 9098) to require the reporting of all C. diff infections and held the first-ever C. diff-focused congressional briefing to support our new legislation
• Our Peer Support volunteers helped more than 130 people navigate this terrible infection with practical guidance and moral support.
• Held our inaugural Scientific Symposium, which drew 440 registrants to learn about the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of C. diff infections 

From volunteers participating in our Lobby Day to C. diff survivors sharing their stories with clinicians and scientists to our donors, people like you who provide their time and money make our work possible. Every day, we hear from people battling C. diff, often with little information and limited support from their healthcare team. We’ve made progress, but you can help those who need it the most by donating now. 

With your help, we can achieve even more in 2025, including: 

• Continuing our shared fight to ensure that every C. diff infection is counted by passing the “Peggy Lillis CDI Inclusion Act.” 
• Recruiting and training more peer support volunteers to aid patients and caregivers battling C. diff.  
• Increase awareness of C. diff prevention, antibiotic stewardship, diagnosis, and the latest treatments.

If you’ve battled C. diff personally or watched a loved one do so, you know how critical accurate information and timely treatment can be.

Donate now to help us provide more support, accurate information, and continue our fight against C. diff in 2025. If you donate $50 or more we'll send you an "I Give A Crap" button.
