What is Amyloidosis?

AMYLOIDOSIS is a term that represents several different types of diseases where an abnormal protein called amyloid is produced. These amyloid protein fibers can attach and deposit into organs, tissues, nerves, and other places in the body. When that happens, normal function of the area can be affected. As the amyloid protein increases, health problems and organ damage may occur. “OSIS” means increased, or an abnormal, supply of AMYLOID protein.

Most amyloidosis diseases have different treatments; therefore, the correct diagnosis is extremely important.

We are all Warriors – AL Amyloidosis

Brenda Hill

Back in 2014 I was working full time, went to the gym, mowed my mom’s yard, and my yard. I did all sorts of things. I was 56 years old. I started feeling short of breath and was very tired. I went to my primary care physician, and she said I just had a bug. It went on and I...

Light the Night for Amyloidosis

When

March 1, 2026    
12:00 am

Each year, landmarks, homes, and communities across the country light up in red to honor those affected by amyloidosis and to raise awareness of this rare disease. Light the Night for Amyloidosis is a simple but powerful way to spark conversation, encourage earlier diagnosis, and show solidarity with patients, caregivers, families, and clinicians who are part of our community.

We invite supporters everywhere to participate—whether that means illuminating your porch light, asking a local building or bridge to light up, or sharing photos on social media to spread the word. Every light symbolizes hope and helps amplify the message that awareness saves lives.

To make participation easier, the Amyloidosis Foundation has created a Light the Night for Amyloidosis outreach toolkit. This free toolkit includes:

  • Sample request letters and emails you can send to city halls, landmarks, and organizations
  • Tips for identifying potential lighting locations in your area
  • Social media post ideas to help you promote your event
  • Ideas for community engagement and storytelling

With these ready-to-use resources, anyone can take action locally and help expand the impact of this movement.

We encourage you to join us for the month of March in lighting the night this year. Together, we can brighten the path toward earlier recognition, improved care, and greater support for everyone affected by amyloidosis.

Thank you for being a vital part of our community and for helping us shine a light—literally and figuratively—on amyloidosis.
