As you know, I’ve been updating you on Tallie Anderson’s condition each week here on the blog. Tallie was diagnosed with a rare blood disease one year ago.
Due to her Choctaw descent it took months to finally get the bone marrow transplant she so desperately needed to live. ‘What mattered’ to the Anderson family was seeing Tallie’s condition improve, and raising awareness to the great need for bone marrow donors.
I’m deeply saddened to report that Tallie passed away this weekend due to complications from her transplant.
Her story brought more than three thousand people to registar to become donors over the last year.
Here at KOCO our thoughts and well-wishes are with the Anderson family during this extremely difficult time.
this is a very special girl she was my best friend
