The MPD Foundation reached out to me after I found its website. I was newly-diagnosed with Polycythemia Vera and had many questions and fears. It maintains a resource-rich website with links to the latest in research and education. The Board chair and staff have provided me wonderful guidance and support. MPD Foundation financially supports research for these rare MPDs as well as patient advocacy. We are fortunate to have this organization and I will continue to support its mission.
