IndeeLift, Sponsor of MSU

IndeeLift

Steve Powell, founder of IndeeLift sought out the help of several inclusion body myositis patients, IBMer’s, to adapt the residential lift to meet the needs of Myositis patients, now lifting to a standing position.

Steve says, “IndeeLift is becoming larger and more successful by living with the philosophy people count! All of our efforts are being aimed at achieving the greatest good for the greatest number in all that we do! Consequently, IndeeLift is partnering with Myositis Support and Understanding and the Myositis Community and as such, Myositis will be the primary recipient of IndeeLift corporate giving efforts for the foreseeable future! Together we can really make a difference in the day-to-day lives in this community, while also enabling the research that may one day lead to the real goal of slowing or curing IBM and ultimately Myositis.”

MSU is instrumental in improving the lives of people living with myositis (idiopathic inflammatory myopathies), a group of rare, complicated autoimmune muscle, skin, and often multi-organ diseases, through education, support, awareness, advocacy, access to research, and need-based financial assistance.

We are a fast-growing patient-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the experience needed to support and advocate for myositis patients and caregivers. Myositis affects the whole person and every aspect of their life. Understanding this disease isn’t limited to symptoms, we push for the inclusion of the patient voice in research and clinical care, and we work to empower the community to acknowledge patients and caregivers as equals – a part of a team – in their healthcare management.

We provide more than support. We continually work hard as an all-volunteer organization providing patient-centered programs and services and building unique and meaningful partnerships in the rare disease community. Technology is a driving force in our continued growth and success; educating, supporting, and connecting patients, caregivers, and family members with one another, and with doctors, researchers, clinical trials, partners, and patient-first focused providers.

Sponsorships include both our comprehensive myositis website, Understandingmyositis.org, and our #MyositisLIFE program and website; giving a voice to patients and caregivers.

#MyositisLIFE is our newest program with a dedicated interactive community-based website, and it provides a solution to a missing piece in awareness and research; the patient voice.
