“Cooley’s Anemia Foundation has accomplished a tremendous amount over the past few years all because of the support and involvement of people like you,” said Kristy DeRome Gomberg, organizer of the walk. “The more people who join us in the fight, the more we are able to accomplish. We are asking for your support in the form of a monetary donation, gift card or basket. Your donation allows the Cooley’s anemia foundation to continue the work to help find a cure.”
