Part of every gift to Pacing for the Cure supports multiple sclerosis research. We've supported the Multiple Sclerosis Research Institute (MSRI) and the work of Dr. Greenstein.
The goal of the MSRI is to perform the highest quality research and to provide outstanding education about this research in the field of Multiple Sclerosis. The research is focused on unraveling the cause of this devastating disease while bringing us closer to new, more safe treatments.
It has become clear that a class of T-cells (cells that help and regulate immune responses) known as regulatory T-cells (Treg) are key to the development of tissue specific autoimmune diseases such as MS; where the immune system damages myelin, the insulator of nerve fibers.
The message below is from Dr. Greenstein of MSRI, a separate organization.
Dr. Greenstein
Curing MS is my life’s work. As you know, MS not only changes the lives of those affected by it, but it also touches the lives of their families and friends. My mission in founding the Multiple Sclerosis Research Institute (MSRI) is to FIND the cause, STOP the progression and CURE the disease so that those with MS, as well as future generations, can enjoy a life free from its symptoms.
Fundraising is paramount to any successful research endeavor, including ours, and we need your help.
With your help, we intend to FIND, STOP and CURE this disease. Any contribution, small or large, matters. Remember that corporations often match contributions, so any donation may encourage others to act. I hope you, your family and friends will consider sending a tax-deductible donation payable to the Multiple Sclerosis Research Institute (20-1354368).
Finally, volunteers are also needed. If you are interested in being part of MSRI’s FIND, STOP, CURE initiative please let us know. You can send us information via our volunteer form online, or complete the survey.
