POTS stands for postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, which is a disorder of the autonomic nervous system, a form of dysautonomia. POTS is estimated to impact between 1,000,000 and 3,000,000 Americans, and millions more around the world. Despite its prevalence, most people have never heard of POTS. Many doctors are unfamiliar with POTS, which can make getting a diagnosis and proper treatment extremely difficult.

The POTS Walk and Race to Beat POTS events raise funds for Dysautonomia International, the leading 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that advocates for people living with POTS and other forms of dysautonomia. Dysautonomia International seeks to improve the lives of over 70 million individuals around the world living with disorders of the autonomic nervous system by advancing research to find more effective treatments, educating medical professionals to improve clinical care, raising awareness with the public so POTS and other dysutonomia patients get the compassion and support their need in their communities, empowering patients with the most up to date information on autonomic disorders so they can be their own best advocates, and championing the needs of our patient community in the halls of government.
