Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine raises funds for chronic illness research

By: Makena Carr

This annual fundraiser is hosted by the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine (INIM) to raise funds for chronic illness research. Adequate funding allows our team to design and conduct studies that may lead to new and effective treatments for illnesses such as Long COVID and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS).

Every member of our team at INIM shares the same mission: to bring hope and help to those living with chronic illness. Research is a vital part of fulfilling that mission—and your support allows us to keep moving forward. The Institute opened its doors 12 years ago as the first of its kind in the nation—a place dedicated to treating patients with neuroinflammatory disorders while conducting both basic and clinical research under the same roof.

At that time, Dr. Nancy Klimas, Director of INIM, described her vision for the Institute: “It will be a place to coordinate cutting-edge thinking and research, train new practitioners, and offer the highest quality care for a hugely underserved population.” For over a decade, Dr. Klimas and the team at INIM have worked tirelessly to ensure this vision is reflected in every aspect of our research and patient care. Your contribution to this fundraiser will help advance important research, improve treatment options, and deepen the understanding of complex chronic diseases for those who need it most.
