Description
The Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization built on leadership, vision and commitment to find a cure for Chiari malformation (CM), syringomyelia (SM) and related CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) disorders, was founded in October 2007. We are grateful to those who, through their significant gifts, have helped launch this important initiative. CSF is comprised of many recognized world-class physicians, scientists and professionals who agreed to collaborate and form a superior Medical Research Board. The trusted and familiar names of our dedicated Board of Directors, savvy Board of Trustees, and experienced staff have been leaders in the SM/CM community for years. They have the skills and passion to create, fund, and direct programs and research that will change the lives of the quarter of a million families affected by CM/SM.
