Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) diagnosis

Kate Bourne

"Being a recipient of the inaugural STEM Without Limits Scholarship from the Take a Pain Check Foundation is a great honour. This award will provide valuable financial support as I embark on my medical school journey this summer and work towards my career goal of becoming a clinician-scientist."

Bachelor of Health Sciences

University of Calgary

Lupus diagnosis

Maddi Tory

"For someone with Lupus, the STEM without limits scholarship allows me to focus my energy on my studies, my research and volunteering especially during a flare, when holding an additional part time job would not be realistic. Further this scholarship will allow me to participate in national and international conferences on chronic pain and in the field of neuroscience which would otherwise be in accessible to me."
