My Story

Almost exactly a year ago, we were handed a rare diagnosis with life changing impact for our son, Holden. So far, we have had a roller coaster of a year while he stares bone-marrow-failure in the face. Looking at him today, you’d never know, but he continues to fight that battle every second of every day while we hope we reach remission. He is truly a hero in a (newly turned) 8-y-old body. Thank you for supporting him and kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with critical illnesses this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with critical illnesses a better chance for a cure.
