About this campaign
(Please Note: Internationally Shipped orders should be placed by Nov. 15, 2014 to help ensure delivery prior to the holidays.)
Help us raise funds for research to find a cure for Diamond Blackfan Anemia ("DBA")! DBA is a very rare blood disorder characterized by a failure of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells which causes DBA patients to become severely anemic. It is important to note that this anemia is not the result of a deficiency in iron, vitamin B-12, folate, or erythropoietin, which is a blood cell stimulating factor.
Most DBA patients are diagnosed within the first year of life. Potentially, DBA patients can live long and healthy lives with appropriate medical treatment. The two most common forms of treatment are blood transfusion therapy and corticosteroid medication. Some DBA patients are in remission and need no medical treatment related to their DBA. Other DBA patients may choose to undergo the risky procedure of a stem cell transplant (also referred to as a bone marrow transplant).
Research funding is critical to the continued search for a cure to this very rare bone marrow failure syndrome. You can help DBA patients by supporting the Foundation. Buying this sweatshirt and/or T-shirt and/or making a donation helps raise needed funds and awareness. Support the foundation and join the fight for a cure! Please share this campaign with all your friends and family! Learn more at http://www.dbafoundation.org/
