Operation Shooting Star is dedicated to raising funds for research of autoimmune diseases. We believe that if we motivate researchers to find a cure in individual autoimmune diseases, then essentially they will be able to use that information to cure other diseases with the same root issues: “Cure One to Cure All”.
To date, Operation Shooting Star has sent over $20,000 to the research program for Multiple Sclerosis at the University Of Maryland School Of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Though the center focuses on MS, their research efforts extend into the world of autoimmunity. This leads us to believe that they are not only trying to find the cure for MS and how it specifically affects the body, but also to find the cure for the underlying cause—autoimmunity—which is the factor in over 80 autoimmune diseases.
