About Us

The IIH Champ Foundation is a new non-profit organization that is dedicated to support the medical research of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.

IIH Champ Foundation was established in 2023 by Tanya Ward, after she was diagnosed with IIH in 2017. She decided to start a non-profit organization to support the medical research of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Our goal is to discover why does Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension happens, and the research of new effective treatments as well. We provide encouragement for those living with IIH, their families and supporters.
The Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Champ Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, administered by a volunteer Board of Directors.

What Is IIH?

Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension is a rare neurological condition where the increased Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) increases for no obvious reason. IIH can lead to vision loss and blindness related to swelling of the optic nerve (papilledema).
The symptoms mimic those a brain tumor, but no tumor present: Symptoms may include headache behind the eyes, ringing in the ears in time with heartbeat, and brief episodes of
blindness (blackouts).
Our goal is to find out why IIH happens and discover medical research to find more treatments and hopefully a cure.
