With your support we can make real advances in rheumatic disease research
Rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) are chronic conditions that affect joints, tendons, ligaments, bones and muscles. Most often associated with swelling, pain and reduced mobility, the number of patients presenting with a form of rheumatic disease is on the rise.
In Australia, more than 3.9 million people are living with debilitating chronic arthritis. With more than 1,000 different types of arthritis, most are thought to be caused by the body’s own immune system.
Despite major research efforts and advances, there is still much to be understood about the underlying causes of inflammatory rheumatic diseases, which we understand are autoimmune, causing the immune system to attack the body’s own tissues.
With your support, we can make a real difference in advancing much needed medical research.
