IT’S TIME TO GET PUMPED FOR PDSA’S 11th NATIONAL WALK/RUN!
Imagine:
As a child... being robbed of 'normal' childhood activities or contact sports because a minor bump or cut could lead to life-threatening bleeding.
Imagine:
As a parent...being accused of abuse because your child is experiencing unstoppable bleeding and is covered with bruises.
Imagine:
As an adult...waking up with a mouth full of blood blisters, heading to work with an incessant nosebleed, or going to bed with a headache fearing the worst – it’s a brain hemorrhage and you won’t wake up in the morning.
Imagine living this life with no hope of a cure EVERY day... This is reality in living life with ITP.
