Research supported

by fundraising

Pivotal to our research into autoimmune diseases
is a wonderful team of dedicated supporters, who
fundraise in honour of their beloved pets. These
fundraisers are helping us get closer to finding new
treatments and hopefully one day, find a cure.
Phoebe's legacy

Lynne and her friend Elaine, have raised over £24,000 since
they started fundraising for us in 2018. Phoebe was a happy
and beautiful cocker spaniel who suffered from IMHA for the
last three years of her life. Lynne said: "It was very tragic to
see Phoebe go through everything she went through.

Lynne said:

Phoebe was a special dog,

and we are thankful that
we can make others aware

of this condition. Phoebe
