Amyloidosis Foundation

The Amyloidosis Foundation began with the vision of two patients, Don Brockman and Dennis Krysmalski. Don’s desire to support research and Dennis’s commitment to support patients and increase awareness has been the driving force behind the foundation for the past 15 years. Don’s widow, Mary O’Donnell, has led the foundation to become the success it is today.

Our key priorities are:
• Raising awareness in the medical field for an earlier diagnosis.
• Educating medical professionals through our Grand Rounds program and attendance at medical conferences.
• Empowering patients through our comprehensive range of services, including accurate up to date information.

History:
The Amyloidosis Foundation is the result of the merging in 2007 of the Amyloidosis Research Foundation and the Amyloidosis Support Network so that the missions of both organizations could be brought together.

The Amyloidosis Research Foundation was founded by Don Brockman and Mary O’Donnell in 2003. The ARF mission was to support medical and scientific research for amyloidosis.
