Histio Heroes and Angels

We want to highlight several recent stories about brave children battling against histiocytosis and other life-threatening diseases who are awaiting a life-saving bone marrow transplant:

Andrew Akin

Kenna Emmons

Emmanuel Gonzalez
2 Year Old Could Require Transplant

Liam Schulze
Shoppers, Baggers Line Up To Aid Child

We also wanted to take a moment to remember and recognize several brave angels who have lost their fights against histiocytosis over the past several months:

Karleigh Marie Hobart (10 months old -- HLH)

Marion Isabella Sumner (1 month old -- LCH)

Zachary Malik Tyler (13 years old -- LCH)

Aiden Brian Willis (3 years old -- HLH)

We are deeply sorry and send our condolences to the families of these children.

Learn how you can help in the fight against histiocytosis and find more information on the Histiocytosis Association of America website. You can also learn about how to register as a bone marrow donor on the National Marrow Donor Program website.
