Race Toward Unlocking the Mysteries of the Immune System

Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) works to unlock the mysteries of the immune system. Its team of world-renowned scientists is focused on identifying causes and cures for devastating diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancer. BRI is an international leader in immune system and autoimmune disease research with a focus on translating laboratory discoveries to real life applications.

 


Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis

All donations from the Benaroya Research Institute Triathlon at Seafair go to support autoimmune disease research of Type 1 (juvenile) diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis at BRI. These three devastating, chronic diseases, affect more than four million Americans – and the incidence is rising. As autoimmune diseases, they share underlying mechanisms, which are being studied at BRI.
The researchers at Benaroya Research Institute rely on philanthropic support to find causes and cures for disease. Your gift plays a special role in providing funding for new research programs and equipment.

Supporting Research That Matters
The researchers at Benaroya Research Institute work every day to save lives by exploring causes and cures of auto immune diseases. They rely on philanthropic support to help reach their goal. Your donation plays a special role in providing funding for new research programs, equipment and staffing needs that may not be covered by government and foundation grants.

Running for a Cure: Maria Fyles Triathlon Participant
"Over the course of my life diabetes has affected me in many ways. My father, grandma, and close friend have had their lives changed by diabetes. I am running in this race to help find a cure for diabetes. Please help me raise awareness and funding for juvenile diabetes by your monetary support as I participate in the 2007 Benaroya Research Institute Triathlon at Seafair."

"Racing in Honor a Loved One "
Support your family members and friends who are battling these debilitating diseases by wearing a “Racing in Honor of” color- coded wristband for a suggested donation of $10. Three colors of wristbands will be available at the Triathlon Expo and at the event. All of the funds raised will support Type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis research at BRI.
