Histio Warriors
"Diagnosed in Jan 1998, the internet was still relatively new and it was very difficult to find any information on this horrible disease my son had. It wasn’t until almost a month later that I finally came across the Histiocytosis Association. They gave me information & support when no one else could."
- Mother of Jonathan
Diagnosed with LCH at 2, now 22 years old
"Being a part of this community helped me to understand what LCH is and how to explain it to others and raise awareness."

4 year old Histio Warrior
"I am incredibly grateful for the support from the Histiocytosis Association. Funding from the Histiocytosis Association provided critical support for our studies of a new treatment for adults with Histiocytosis called Cobimetinib and helped support the eventual FDA approval of this treatment."
- Dr. Omar Abdel-Wahab
