Today, we observe International Thalassemia Day.

Every year on May 8th, the global thalassemia community comes together to raise awareness, honor the lives of those affected, and demand action.

This year's theme is Hidden No More: Finding the Undiagnosed. Supporting the Unseen. International Thalassemia Day shines a light on those who remain unseen - people living without diagnosis, without support, and without recognition. This year, we call on the world to bring them into view.

The Comprehensive Thalassemia Program at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is dedicated to supporting thalassemia patients and their families with compassionate, high-quality care from diagnosis through lifelong management.

Join us in raising awareness and support for thalassemia:

Run For Gus was a huge success! We even saw some familiar faces from the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders Team. Dr.Waanders had wonderful and encouraging words to say ahead of the race as well as some. As of today $220,373 (and counting!) has been raised towards the fight for Pediatric Brain Cancer. Thank you all who showed up, donated, shared encouraging thoughts and stories, and continue to fight both silently and publicly.

WHY RUN?
Gus Evangelides lost his battle with a brain tumor just three months shy of his second birthday. Now, his inspiring legacy lives on.
When you participate in Run for Gus, your donations directly support Lurie Children’s Brain Tumor Center. Lurie Children’s Brain Tumor Center offers highly specialized state-of-the-art care, while also providing patient support programs like Beads of Courage. It’s not always easy to fully capture a patient’s experience in words. This program encourages children to string together beads, each representing a milestone in their journey, helping tell their story of courage in a unique, tangible way. By joining us this July, you can honor Gus and support thousands of children battling brain tumors.
