WALK STAR: BRIAN WHITE
Our March for Marrow has been organized in honor of Brian White, who we lost in 2015 due to complications from aplastic anemia. He was an amazing husband, father, uncle, friend, teacher, mentor and so much more.
We can tell you first hand that bone marrow failure is a devastating disease and for patients and family members of those affected by it, it will change your life forever.
Watching someone you love so deeply go through such a dire disease, with such unimaginable bravery, fighting every single day to live, while you can do nothing more than love and support them, praying for the potential of remission is heart wrenching. It is a feeling of helplessness that will ravage and overwhelm your entire being. It is something no one deserves or should ever experience.
For Brian and the cure, our family is personally participating in the walk. We invite you to join us in supporting patients, families and friends; putting an end to bone marrow failure diseases by registering to walk or by making a donation today. A contribution of any kind or size can make a difference and we thank you for any difference you decide to make!
