Shizue Spielberg and her husband, Harold, started funding MDS research through AA&MDSIF in 1998 after he was diagnosed with MDS. In 1999, following his death, Mrs. Spielberg decided to honor him by establishing the Harold Spielberg MDS Research Fund. Her goal is for us to better understand how to treat and cure MDS. This fund has been supporting research grants regularly thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Spielberg and her company.
