Distance for Davis Fundraiser in Davis County, Utah.  58% of my readers live in Utah and so I hope that some of you can make it! Just click on the graphic below to be taken to the official site.

In March 2010, Davis, a 14-year-old Kaysville Junior High School Student, contracted a random virus that damaged his bone marrow, which resulted in severe aplastic anemia. Once, a healthy football and baseball player, Davis now experiences life-threatening symptoms ranging from retinal bleeding, two-hour nose and gum bleeds, fevers, severe bacterial infections, and a depleted immune system.

Affecting only three in one million Americans each year, aplastic anemia is a disease of the bone marrow, where the marrow stops making enough red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets for the body. People like Davis, with severe or very severe aplastic anemia, are at risk for life-threatening infections or bleeding. Treatment includes bone marrow or cord blood transplant and immunosuppressive therapy.

A “Distance for Davis” Fundraiserfor 14-year-old aplastic anemia patient, Davis Cox is being hosted Aug. 6 from 7 p.m. -11 p.m. and Aug. 7 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. at Davis High School in Kaysville, Utah. It includes a Utah Blaze Football Clinic, Nitro Circus Movie Premier, motorcycle stunts by DJ Osborn, a silent auction and raffle, a 5K Fun Run, hot air balloon rides, a blood drive, food, games and entertainment.
