Greetings from Team Teo
Home to eat and home from the hospital.
From Teo: When I was 4 years old I got a tumor on my head. My parents and I went to the local clinic so that the doctors could check out what was happening. The doctors didn't know what it was so we went home. Time passed and we went to another place and they didn't know either so we went home. Finally we found someone who did know what it was, and they told us that it is something very serious. We went to the children's hospital, where they did a lot of surgery to remove the tumor. My parents were very scared and worried. One of them stayed at the side of my hospital bed a full night every night (they took turns). I wasn't worried because I could stay in bed and watch cartoons, but I was scared and sad when the doctors did surgery on me. The Histiocytosis Association helped us and finally I left the hospital. I hope that a lot of people donate to Histiocytosis Association. On Saturday, April 26th I will participating in the Histio Hike Shenandoah and raising critical funds for histiocytic disorders.
YOU can help!
Histiocytic disorders are a group of diseases that occur when there is an over-production of white blood cells known as histiocytes that can lead to organ damage and tumor formation. This group is made up of a wide variety of conditions that can affect both children and adults.
While the search for more effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure continues, the Histiocytosis Association is dedicated to supporting and empowering the patients and families who live with these devastating diseases every day.
Please help me reach my fundraising goal. Make a gift today!
Thank you for supporting me and the Histiocytosis Association.
One-hundred percent of donations go to the Histiocytosis Association in support of its mission and programs.
