The AAMDS International Foundation has been an integral part of our life since Mario’s diagnosis 13 years ago. We have gained knowledge, support and, most importantly, developed lasting relationships. We continue to depend on them to provide cutting-edge information and patient and family support.

I’m proud to support AAMDSIF—will you join me?

"My name is Brianne, and 2024 marks my ninth year as a donor. Donations for AAMDSIF help patients like me living with bone marrow failure at every critical point in our journey. I'm proud to be a donor to the Foundation. I'm able to donate annually because my friends and family support me through a golf outing that I host called "Fighting PNH…Rare but Real" (pictured here). We need your help to make a difference. Join me and donate today."
