In 2020, the J. Marion Sims Foundation changed their name to Arras Foundation after controversy around who the original foundation was named after. J. Marion Sims used to be known as "the father of modern gynecology" until his methods of practice came to light. Feel free to look him up yourself.

It would be respectful to the foundation to use their current name for the waystop.
