I'd like you to meet my Aunt Bessie. She is the one on the left. She is my Mother's (in the center) sister. The other lady was my Aunt Margie - their sister.
Aunt Bessie is a survivor of this disease. She went through several long bouts of treatments. She's my Mom's youngest sister. Thankfully through donations and research she was given treatments to fight this disease. That is why it is so important to me to continue with this marathon and raising the money to find more and better medications to combat blood diseases. Cheers to my Aunt Bessie, a true hero.
