WHY I DO THIS
I was diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia in 2007 and I had an allogeneic bone marrow transplant in 2008.
Throughout the treatment and many hospitalizations, I discovered more about myself and have a new perspective on life. I felt lost being treated in a cancer center and not having cancer. I was told to do some research about my disease and came across AAMDSIF. I learned that they have conferences and walks and started doing a walk in my hometown.
Although it is a small walk, it is a walk that brings awareness to bone marrow diseases, especially aplastic anemia, and that's my goal!
