ITP Ambassador
ITP patient Ayla Charness was chosen as the 2011 Children's Miracle Network Colorado Champion. This was a great opportunity for Ayla to spread the word about ITP. In October 2011 she took a trip to Washington D.C. to meet with congressmen to get support for child health care and bring awareness about the research needs for ITP.

The video below is one that Children's Miracle Network put together to show at fundraisers and other national events. It does a great job of telling her story along with bringing awareness to ITP.
A Champion for the Children's Miracle Network and a winner for those with ITP!
