“I am sixteen years old and was diagnosed with ITP at fifteen. It dramatically altered my life and at the beginning I felt very alone with this strange disease I had never heard of before. Finding the PDSA Web site was such a relief. Here was a community of people who I could relate to and I read their ITP stories on the discussion boards… I would really like to organize a 5k run in my town to raise awareness and money for platelet disorder research.”
