Rona Edwards sprinkled joy and love on every person she met. When she developed Aplastic Anemia, a rare form of bone marrow failure, at the age of five, her sole mission became to help other kids like her. Rona passed away from complications related to her treatment in September of 2023, but would have died seven months earlier had it not been for the generosity of blood and platelet donors. Those donors gave Rona seven more months to sprinkle joy and love on our community. Now, it’s up to us to carry on Rona’s mission. Please join us in honoring Rona Edwards’s memory by giving the life-saving gift of blood.
