For the past several years, we’ve been following the story of a now 12-year-old girl named Hillary McKibbin, and her brave fight against a rare blood disorder called Aplastic Anemia. From time to time, alongside her mother Kelly, we’ve checked in with Hillary about the current stem cell registry, and their tireless efforts to raise awareness about its overall importance.
