TSM16/31 Isabella’s Journey living with Thalassemia Blood

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and  her guest Serafina  Sammarco aired from August 2nd

Serafina, a humanitarian and advocate of those living with Thalassemia for over 30 years.

Her mission is to educate and support individuals affected by this genetic disorder. She truly believes that no matter what our life challenges may be,   rising above them is what makes us stronger.

Her drive was sparked by her daughter’s diagnosis of a genetic blood disorder at the age of 8 months and her death at 14 years of age.

She is the founder and president of The Vancouver Thalassemia Society, which she started after her daughter’s passing.
