When Johnny was 4 years old his mother noticed bruises on his body and he was taken to the doctors. After continuous testing Johnny was diagnosed with Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) a disorder that leads to excessive bruising and bleeding. Doctor’s were often experimenting with different medication until Johnny reached adulthood….
JOHNNY'S VISION
To spread awareness about Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and to support all people and their families who have been affected by ITP.
WHAT IS ITP:
(IMMUNE THROMBOCYTOPENIA)
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low levels of platelets — the cells that help blood clot. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is also called immune thrombocytopenia, affects children and adults.
