About this campaign
Help us raise funds for research to find a cure for Diamond Blackfan Anemia ("DBA") by purchasing one or more of these embroidered polos! 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 ca help DBA pa ients by sup orting the F undation Buying one of these embroidered polos 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/
