Same journey, different paths. Bound together by the same heartaches, triumphs, and hope for a cure. That’s DBA Family!

Donate blood and stem cells, save a life!!!

DBA is a part of who I am… it does not define me nor will it stand in the way of my hopes and dreams.

Living everyday to fight DBA

Sometimes I feel like the odd one out, restricted by DBA. I just have to keep reminding myself that God wouldn’t bless me with this challenge if He didn’t think I could handle it. I don’t let DBA define me, I try to defy DBA.

And when the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. BUT…one thing is certain: When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in!

Though in our hearts we desire to be free from DBA, we have learned patience, love, trust, perseverance, compassion, courage, and to cry.

It is the tough things I have gone through with DBA that has made me the man I am.
