Riley Bonner and his Parents (Michael & Renee)
This event will benefit a 9 year old boy named Riley. Riley has been recently diagnosed with aplastic anemia. This disease requires frequent trips to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, which requires his family to travel over 100 miles one way. Unfortunately, some of these times have been via ambulance. Riley requires frequent blood transfusions and will soon be starting an aggressive treatment plan, similar to chemotherapy. Once this treatment plan begins, he will require hospital stays for a minimum of 4 days for each treatment. If unsuccessful, Riley may require a bone marrow transplant.
