The Myelin Project is a non-profit organization based in Pacific Palisades, California, established in 1989 by Augusto and Michaela Odone to support individuals affected by adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). It focuses on improving quality of life through research support, advocacy, education, and family assistance, including efforts to advance treatments and pursue a cure, raise awareness, promote newborn screening, and provide financial help to low-income families. Serving a niche in the health and advocacy space, the organization targets families and patients dealing with ALD/AMN and seeks to mobilize resources and information to address the disease’s progression and impact. As a small nonprofit, its activities are organized around funding research, broadening public understanding of ALD/AMN, and supporting affected households, within the broader context of the nonprofit sector dedicated to medical research and patient advocacy.
