The purpose of the Benson Fellowship is to encourage professional training in the peripheral inflammatory neuropathy area for medical doctors, and to encourage philanthropic support to help address this significant challenge within the medical community.
Guillain-Barre' Syndrome (GBS), Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), and Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN) are extremely rare peripheral inflammatory neuropathy disorders. These disorders can be life threatening or permanently disabling, so anyone who has one of these disorders needs to get the right diagnosis and the right treatment, right away.
About GBS/CIDP Foundation International

This is accomplished by: providing a network for all patients, their caregivers and families; providing public and professional educational programs; sponsoring research; and engaging in patient advocacy.
Our vision is that every person afflicted with GBS, CIDP, MMN, and their variants has convenient access to early and accurate diagnosis, appropriate and affordable treatments, and dependable support services.
