Meet Our Team
At PWN4PWN, we’re a community of advocates, thinkers, and doers—each bringing personal experience, professional insight, or sheer passion for change. From our board and strategic advisors to our peer-led volunteers and project teams, these are the people moving the mission forward.
PWN4PWN provides practical tools and emotional support to help people with narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia reclaim a sense of control, clarity, and connection. Our mission is to reach the isolated, validate their experiences, and show them that life can get better — with the right support system and strategies.

Expert Advisory Board
PWN4PWN’s Expert Advisory Board is a group of experts who lend their skills, guidance, and knowledge to our organization. In short, an advisory board serves the purpose of its name—to offer advice that helps an organization grow and achieve its goals.
The primary function of an advisory board is to fill a knowledge gap in the organization.

Who are our partners?
To improve our services, and information we teamed up with a variety of partners like researchers, narcolepsy experts, organizations, and hospitals.
Some help us with collecting or processing data for research. Some we help with their funding. Some help with lowering our expenses for software or courses. Some help with providing the latest information on sleep. We value each partner greatly for what they do for our community.
Feel free to join this list and help us help.
