PJ's Story

PJ was born with Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, a rare genetic disease that robs children of their auto-immune system. As his mother battled breast cancer, two-year-old PJ underwent a bone marrow transplant and a traumatic six-month recovery. Sadly, his mother lost her battle with cancer, but she lived long enough to see PJ emerge as a healthy, happy little boy. Friends pooled their resources to help PJ's family. They took it a step further and established the For Pete's Sake Foundation to support families of children with rare diseases. This is PJ's story.
