Diagnosed: Aplastic Anemia, Fall 2009
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Location: Madison, WI, adopted from Guatemala

Antonio is an adorable 6-year-old from Guatemala who was adopted by a family in Madison. During the fall of 2009, he was diagnosed with the blood disorder aplastic anemia. Antonio’s best treatment may be a bone marrow transplant. The best match for him and other patients of color is an unrelated donor from the same ethnic group.  That’s why his family is encouraging donors from all ethnicities to join the Be The Match Registry. You could help save a life.
