Cold Agglutinin Disease Foundation Cold Agglutinin Disease Foundation’s purpose is to foster and increase public awareness and education

Our History

In 2007, there was a shortage of information regarding Cold Agglutinin Disease and a significant need to educate and support patients with this rare blood disorder. The founder, a CAD patient herself, with the aid of two others she had met through the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), created a website dedicated to CAD patients. The goal was to serve as a hub
of information, support and encouragement for patients and caregivers globally. The facebook.com
group, CADdy CHATTER, an outgrowth of the website, was created in 2009 by a CAD patient and is our closed group exclusively for CAD patients and caregivers., They can interact directly with a worldwide membership of over 1300 very caring CAD patients and caregivers. The founder in 2019 sought to create the Cold Agglutinin Disease Foundation Non-profit. Recruiting two others, the three founding board members formed the Cold Agglutinin Disease Foundation. Today, the Foundation has grown through the board and volunteers' efforts to an organization that honours the Mission of CAD Foundation to educate patients, care partners, and the medical community. On behalf of the CAD Community, we thank everyone who has brought awareness to this rare disease. Together we harness the power of many vs the power of one.
