MdDS Balance Disorder Foundation

The MdDS Balance Disorder Foundation is an all-volunteer organization that operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation. The Foundation is dedicated to promoting international awareness of Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS) and seeking treatments and a cure for people suffering from this disorder. Major Foundation efforts are directed towards:

supporting patients and families of those with this rare balance disorder

educating professionals who provide medical care and treatment of MdDS patients

collecting demographic and other information from those with MdDS via online surveys (at present, our findings represent the world's largest available database of results about this patient population)

promoting research to better understand the cause(s) of this unique syndrome

Tax-deductible contributions are used only to accomplish these missions. The overhead cost to accomplish our efforts was less than 4% in 2010 and is budgeted to remain at this level in 2011. Additional information about the MdDS Foundation is available here.
The generosity of donors is absolutely vital as we steadfastly work toward Foundation goals.
