Find a cure for Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia
Over 1,500 people per year in the United States are diagnosed with Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia, a slow-moving, but incurable blood cancer that kills its victims in 5 to 10 years. The funds you donate will be disbursed based on the recommendations of Steven Treon at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, and other top researchers in this field. Funds will be used for both research and clinical trials.

Project Info
This project was set up and is administered by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Steve Kirsch shortly after being diagnosed with this disease. Kirsch, one of Silicon Valley's most generous philanthropists, is now dedicating his personal funds to this disease and asking others for help. Please read his story at http://www.skirsch.com/wm/wm.htm. He has consulted with the top researchers in the country and is following their recommendations for how to most effectively and efficiently disburse your donations where they can do the most good. Your donation will be publicly recognized if you like and there will be a page set up with the amount of each grant, which researchers supported the decision, and the researcher's description of why the grant decision was made.
