Bone marrow failure diseases threaten 50 people every day, every age, gender and ethnicity.

That’s why we partner with Be the Match and Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches!

Take it from Ruth Cuadra, our 2020 Champion:

“My life was completely changed in 2001 when aplastic anemia and PNH became my challenge. For over 15 years, I felt depleted of all energy and I was dependent on frequent blood transfusions to stay alive.

Today I am in a clinical trial called APL-2 and this new treatment has given me my life back. I am so grateful for the research and development of these new medications that are bringing hope to many patients with rare diseases like myself. Thank you for coming out to support this amazing cause.”

please join us in 2020 as we run & walk to find a cure for bone marrow failure diseases
