San Antonio Hope, Steps & A Cure Walk Committee
The San Antonio Hope, Steps & A Cure Walk is an extremely fun and successful event – and is organized by AA&MDSIF volunteers, patients and families like yourself! A wonderful group of Texas volunteers works together throughout the year to plan this annual event. What inspires them to volunteer? Why do they generously give up their free time to work on the walk? They all wanted to get involved and give back because they feel it’s important to do this work. Learn more about the walk committee members and about their loved ones who inspire them to help raise awareness for bone marrow failure disease and funds for the AA&MDSIF programs and services that support patients and families.
