With out the DBAF I would not be connected to others that have Diamond Blackfan Anemia. The DBAF has saved my life by educating me on what I need to do to combat this rare illness.

While I know the road will not always be without struggle, we will continue to learn more through research and the determination of the amazing DBA community.
