Amyloidosis Foundation Charity Profile
In April of 2002 Don Brockman, one of the founders, was diagnosed with AL Amyloidosis. It was discovered very quickly that the medical resources in the United States were few for this disease. Don's journey took him from across the country finally finding a physician that was familiar with the disease and treatment options, unfortunately these were limited.
The purpose of the Amyloidosis Foundation is meant to change that. Its goal is to raise money to support the research necessary to develop more effective means of diagnosis and treatment and, ultimately to cure or prevent this disease.
The Amyloidosis Foundation is a non-profit organization that is the result of the merge in 2007 of the Amyloidosis Research Foundation and the Amyloidosis Support Network.
The Amyloidosis Research Foundation was founded by Don Brockman and Mary O’Donnell in 2003 with the purpose of supporting medical and scientific research for amyloidosis.

Amyloidosis Foundation Donation Information
Donations the foundation receives will sustain various programs supporting our mission to increase education and awareness of amyloidosis within the community leading to earlier diagnosis and improved treatment. Donations already fund a number of research projects that may enter into clinical trials and importantly impact the lives of amyloid patients. Donations will support new programs to provide patient support, promote awareness and increase the knowledge of the disease in the medical community.
