This is a tough one for me as I am reluctant to post anything personal in order to keep my social profile relegated to our work and things we deem inspiring. I don’t want to make it about me as I feel that it should be about us as a team and what we do.
That said…As some of you know, my son Liam was diagnosed with rare and severe blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia a few months ago. We have received incredible support from family, friends and the events community as he has undergone weekly blood and platelet transfusions. We were lucky enough to recently get a donor match for him to get a bone marrow transplant which will hopefully save his life.
Saturday, we check into the hospital for the start of his treatment which will involve chemo and radiation followed by the transplant and then isolation until he is strong enough to live life normally again. I’m sharing all of this as Liam felt that allowing my community to hear a little about our journey might inspire others and allow those who have supported us some updates on his condition.
Thank you so much for the love and thoughts and thanks to all of you who were so quickly willing to be donors. Hopefully we are on the path to remission starting now. I’ll check in again soon.
