Nine-year-old Evan Cousineau was a vibrant three-sport athlete when he was diagnosed with a genetic metabolic disease. Our lives were turned upside down on May 1, 2007 when we were told that Evan had NO HOPE. Because of our "Fight for Evan", we now fight for every patient and family in need by raising awareness and helping educate the nation about donation in all capacities, so we all have HOPE!!

Your baby can save a life
Public cord-blood banking is best
By Sarah Bay

Monday, November 5, 2012
We all know the medical world is rapidly changing and that new technologies come and go like the leaves flying by our windows this fall. These medical changes are even happening in the business of pregnancy and birth, despite the fact that the basic mechanics haven’t changed since the beginning of time.
