Unbelievable work by TPG! Amazing story highlighted by an amazing young boy. So proud to have the Fishers as part of the Aggie family.

I have a cousin with FA. She was the first person to get a bone marrow transplant for it at the Fred Hutch back in the 80s.

I work in gene therapy now and I know a number of companies and research groups are working like crazy to come up with a cure.

Best of luck to coach and his family. Funding research is one of the best ways to help.

How about sometime in the not so distant future getting a home and home with the University of Minnesota (where Ethan goes for treatment) on the schedule. Turn the entire game week at both schools into a fundraiser for KIDZ1stFUND and bone marrow donor registry sign up. The third Saturday of September happens to be World Marrow Donor Day so that would be a nice fit. Both teams are maroon so maroon-out t-shirts with ATM vs. M and KIDZ1stFUND logo could be a fund raising idea at both schools. Make it happen Ags!
