ITP WARRIOR STORIES
KATIE
What happens when one’s drive to compete is derailed by the diagnosis of ITP? For eleven-year-old Katie, it meant employing those components and engaging her grit to beat ITP.
JOHN
John was diagnosed with ITP at age 17 while enlisted in the Marine Corps. His long journey required him to leave his small town in Alaska for the lower 48 to receive treatment for his ITP.
CHRISTINA
At diagnosis in 2014, Christina was an otherwise healthy 26 year old. Her ITP story exemplies the power in becoming an informed and vocal advocate for your own care and treatment.
