The Sumaira Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to generating global awareness of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody associated disorder (MOGAD), creating communities of support for patients and their caregivers, funding research and patient advocacy.

NMOSD is a rare autoimmune disease that affects 10 out of 1 million patients and is oftentimes misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis. The cause is unknown and there is no cure. 

Our founding philosophy is that heightened awareness will ultimately lead us towards finding a cure.
