Chairman's Message

We have established the ITP Foundation for the sole purpose of helping others. We personally understand the issues surrounding this blood disorder and the effect it has on children and adolescents as well as the family dynamic.

On the day I turned 35, we found out that our daughter had ITP. We hoped that her ITP would be acute, but it has turned out to be chronic. I have learned a lot about myself, the disorder and the tremendous strength of my daughter. She is braver than I could have ever been and she makes me stronger with her strength. Unfortunately, I feel almost powerless over ITP, but refuse to let it win.

For this reason we have started the ITP Foundation. We hope to help empower doctors, nurses, researchers, patients and families who deal with this disorder on a daily basis.

We have committed the resources to establish and grow the Foundation into a self sustaining organization, that is the leader in funding ITP Research and helping those in need to manage ITP.

We are looking for people who would like to join us in reaching this goal.

Sincerely,
Michael E. McGuire, Jr.
