AFMA Partners with the Transverse Myelitis Association!

We are excited to announce our newly formed partnership with the Transverse Myelitis Association!

The TMA was founded 25 years ago by families of loved ones affected by rare neuro-immune disorders. They advocate for, support and educate individuals and their families diagnosed with a spectrum of related rare neuro-immune disorders – acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, acute flaccid myelitis, MOG antibody associated disease, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, optic neuritis and transverse myelitis. They invest in scientific research, therapy development and training of clinician-scientists dedicated to these disorders. We feel that the TMA’s goals are complimentary to our own in the fight against AFM. The TMA is a registered nonprofit organization recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a Guidestar Silver Seal of Transparency.

Through our partnership, we hope that our aligned organizations will support, educate, and advocate for those impacted with AFM and that our combined efforts will increase the progress being made. You can learn more about the TMA and access new AFM specific resources through these links below:
