My name is Matthew Lee Sprain.  I am 5 years old.  I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia in 2008.  In 2009, I received an autologous umbilical cord transplant.  I was really sick.  I was really sad when I lost my hair because of chemotherapy.  I have done very well since my transplant and now I feel so much better and can play like I used to. 

With the help of my parents (Mike and Patty Sprain), sisters (Adriana and Elizabeth), and my aunt Rachel, I am walking in the 2 mile Hope, Steps & A Cure Walk in Austin on April 18, 2010.  I'm going to walk as much as I can, but I might need to ride my wagon the rest of the way.  I'm walking in honor of my friends who have beat this disease and/or continue their fight.  I'm also walking in memory of one very special friend.  You don't have to donate alot.  If you could, would you please sponsor me for $1.00 or anything you can give.  I have lots of family and they have lots of friends so I know the one dollar bills can add up and can help us find a cure one day!   

Thank you for visiting my page and for thinking about sponsoring me!

Love you all!   Matthew Lee Sprain
