I strongly encourage you, (unless you have already done so) to please check out: amyloidosis.org

I have been so incredibly fortunate to work with and have so much support from so many people, co -workers, friends, near and far to be able to have had this run and walk take place last year for my dad; this is not only for him, as I know others who have also lost dear family members and friends to this terrible disease.  Together we can all raise awareness, in hope to someday find a cure or at least earlier detection and/ treatment methods.

Here is a quick explanation of Amyloidosis:

“Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which one or more organ systems in the body accumulate deposits of abnormal proteins known as amyloid. The name “amyloidosis” was first used more than 150 years ago, but cases were described over 300 years ago. However, only within the past 25 years have physicians understood the specific make-up and structure of amyloid proteins. Although amyloidosis is not cancer, it is very serious. It is disabling or life threatening. However, growing awareness of the condition seems to be leading to substantial new research and treatment alternatives.” (taken from Amyloidosis.org)
