As part of the annual April Fool’s pancake breakfast at Tremont Center on Saturday, businesses and residents will be helping out a serious cause — helping to fund a bone-marrow transplant for 5-year-old Fred Drew.
DBA is hard but it’s my child’s life. I have to teach him how to live life with it. I will advocate and help find a cure. The DBAF is helping us improve his life.
DBA has taught us many things – Never give up – Be grateful for the strength to fight the fight and always cherish the arms we rest upon for support.
Future ribosomal protein researcher…he just doesn’t know it yet.
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!
We are hopeful that a cure will be discovered soon so that our son doesn’t have to endure pokes and disruptions and can feel good all the time – isn’t that what every child deserves?
With something so rare, our biggest fear was that our son would battle DBA alone, he never does. Thank you DBA Foundation!
DBA has affected our lives in ways we could have never imagined. It has introduced us to the most amazing people – from the dedicated doctors to the wonderful families who are also dealing with DBA. They all exemplify the power of human spirit and are family.
