Why We Walk

THERE IS A NEED AND WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

THERE IS NO CURE FOR APLASTIC ANEMIA AND BONE MARROW FAILURE DISEASE.

APLASTIC ANEMIA IS A RARE DISEASE WITH ONLY about 600-900 people are diagnosed IN THE U.S.A each year.

TREATMENTS AND TRANSPLANTS CAN IN SOME CASES LEAD TO REMISSION BUT IS OFTEN ONLY TEMPORARY.

“The first step toward change is awareness. – Nathaniel Branden

Please Join us!

Everyone can make a difference!

We need your Help!
