The Sumaira Foundation is a renowned 501(c)(3) organization that is committed to creating global awareness of Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) and Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Antibody-Associated Disease (MOGAD). They strive to build supportive communities for patients and their caregivers, support pioneering research, and advocate for patients. NMOSD is a rare neuroimmune condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the central nervous system, leading to various symptoms such as vision loss, paralysis, weakness, numbness, and bladder/bowel dysfunction.

On the other hand, MOGAD targets the MOG protein located on myelin sheaths in the central nervous system, causing symptoms like color vision deficiency, seizures, spasticity, and vomiting. The Sumaira Foundation aims to raise awareness, build a strong community, support groundbreaking research, and advocate for patients in their journey to wellness. They have funded research, shared inspiring patient stories, and collaborate with ambassadors, language experts, and industry partners worldwide.
