WHY THIS EVENT?
Aplastic Anemia (AA) is a very rare and deadly bone marrow failure disease and receives almost no funding for research. The treatment has not changed since 1986; this is unacceptable. Children 15 years old and younger account for 95% of all diagnosis of AA.

“This disease can take my bride Kelly at any time; I can’t sit by and do nothing. I need your help to give Kelly and others with AA a fighting chance.”
