Aplastic Anemia is a bone marrow failure disease resulting in very low red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. The disease strikes only four (4) in a million people and can have a severe impact on your life. Hayley is a first grader in Saco who has been diagnosed with this disease.

All proceeds will go toward costs incurred during Hayley's illness. Any remaining funds will be donated to various charities associated with bone marrow diseases.
