Details Have you ever gotten a call from your doctor to go straight to the emergency room? That’s the reality for most people diagnosed with Immune Thrombocytopenia, better known at ITP. ITP is an autoimmune disorder where the body mounts an attack against your platelets. Platelets are what cause your blood to clot if you get an open wound so without a normal platelet count you can be subject to random bruising and internal bleeding. ITP affects 10 times as many people as hemophilia yet no one knows about it. Come join the 5k fun as we support one of our YMF members, Melissa Hilsabeck, in her efforts to raise awareness about ITP. There will be a 5k walk on November 9th in Irvine, CA followed by food, music, games and raffles such as wine and brewery tours, spa amenities, gift cards and many more!
