The endMS campaign is raising $60 million over five years to support MS research in Canada. Its flagship investment is the $20 million entity called the
endMS Research and Training Network, which will attract, train and retain MS researchers and increase opportunities to conduct MS research in Canada.
Support for the endMS campaign comes from financial contributions of individuals, corporations and foundations such as the J.E. Panneton Family Foundation.
Led by Ontario endMS Campaign Cabinet member John Panneton, the J.E. Panneton Family Foundation “has a mission to support (among other things) world class medical research. The MS Society has long been regarded as a global leader in research as it relates to multiple sclerosis and its affiliated neurological conditions,” says John.
“Specifically we were attracted to the campaign to end MS and the privilege and opportunity to be a part of a ‘final solution’ for people and their families living with MS.”
Without the generous support of donors such as the J.E. Panneton Foundation, we would not be able to continue to invest in programs vital to helping us end MS.
Thank you, John, and the J.E. Panneton Foundation.
