Questions?
-
Contact us. We are here to help.
The SDS Alliance was founded by the principle that patients should be at the center of research and clinical care, with the singular goal of improving patients' lives by accelerating therapies and cures for Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome.
The key to this disease is within each patient and their caregivers (family & loved ones). By collaborating with all stakeholders within the community, we can unlock the unknowns and achieve our mission to improve all patients' lives.
Would you like to join this mission? Whether you are a patient, caregiver, researcher, physician, or any other member of the stakeholder community, there are many ways to support this work.
Please consider donating, attending an event, donating samples and data to research, or volunteering with us!

Donate Funding
We are only as strong as our community. Join the fight, and together, we will end Castleman disease.
Patients: Donate Samples
Donating samples to help advance our life saving research is one of the most important ways you can join in the fight against your disease.
Patients: Join the Registry
We need your help. With even more patients enrolling into ACCELERATE and providing their medical data and Castleman disease story, we will have a clearer understanding of Castleman disease, physicians will be better equipped to provide the best treatment for their patients, and we will move even closer to finding a cure.

Castleman Disease Warriors:
The castleman warrior program was designed as a way to bring patients and loved ones together to unite them in their ability to raise awareness and funds for the CDCN. The warrior team is a group of people who work together to share thoughts, plans, fundraising ideas, and agendas for how we can help find our cure.
Check out our current warrior team here! If you are interested in becoming a warrior and fighting back against Castleman Disease, please click here.
