Pump It Up for Platelets - London, ON 2020

Team Haley

Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura is a blood disorder where your auto immune system mistakenly attacks and kills your platelets, the part of your blood responsible for clotting.  Without platelets, you can have severe bruising and purpura all over, nose bleeds, stomach bleeds and even life threatening brain bleeds.  I was diagnosed with ITP just around my 16th birthday and this disease changed my life.  It was the start of the rollercoaster of illness, anxiety, fear, depression, and many different trial treatments.  My future was so uncertain. I am honoured to have been asked to share my story at the 2nd Annual ITP Walk in memory of Luca, a boy I would have loved to have known; an ITP Warrior who lost his battle at the age of only 10. I will walk with family and friends in memory of Luca, and to spread awareness and raise funds for this rare disease.  I would be so thankful if you would join my team and come out and walk/run with me....or contribute to my fundraising campaign.

Thank you....and wishing you Health and Happiness,

Haley Agius
