Ottawa Now - Life throws 12-year-old Hillary McKibbin another major curveball
August 21, 2025
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. However, since the latest checkup, Hillary has been hit with several curveballs. To be more specific, another rare blood disorder. Hillary and Kelly McKibbin join guest host Andrew Pinsent on today’s Ottawa Now.
