Steph with hat

TEAM Stephanie was started by Stephanie Lufkin's family and friends, and in memory of her life.

 

A message from the Lufkin family

It is our wish, and our mission, to help raise awareness, guarantee more research, and ensure better training when dealing with such a rare and delicate disease. None of those goals can happen without money. We are asking you, in the name of Stephanie Lyn Lufkin, to donate to our fundraising page of TEAM Stephanie; a special branch of the ITP Team which directly benefits the ITP Foundation.

There is no better way to honor our daughter and show your support.

We are running for Steph and we are running for ITP! 

Won't you join us?

In Peace and Love,

Katie and Doug Lufkin

After ruling out Leukemia, she was diagnosed with ITP. 

Due to complications and hemorrhaging in the brain, Steph died four days later, on May 8, 2008.
