Seth’s Aplastic Anemia journey and the magic of blood and bone marrow donors

Seth is a 10 year old boy from Tasmania who is now living his best life and this is all thanks to Australian blood and bone marrow donors. Seth has a condition called Severe Idiopathic Acquired Aplastic Anemia which can be life threatening. He has endured so much testing, treatment, isolation as he was immunocompromised and way too many nights inside hospitals. 

A big part of the challenge for Seth and his family is that treatment wasn't available for Seth at their small local hospital on the North-West coast of Tasmania so they were first airlifted to Hobart and then on to the "mainland" in Melbourne.
