Today, Aaron, 22, of Los Angeles, California, is a first-year middle school science teacher with a degree in education and plenty of drive and energy to teach young minds. But just a few years ago, he was struggling to stay in school because of the disabling effects of a well-known genetic disease with few treatment options. Thanks to a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) clinical trial and a four-month stay at The Children’s Inn, Aaron has been cured of sickle cell disease.
Aaron recently shared his story at The Children’s Inn’s annual Congressional Networking Reception, speaking to a room packed with legislators, legislative staff and NIH leadership as well as Children’s Inn supporters from the healthcare industry.
