About Pepper:
Our brave daughter Pepper has been through an incredible journey. In fall 2024, Pepper was in Mrs. Kramer’s kindergarten class (her twin, Ace, was in Mrs. Fiedorczyk’s class). Just days after their 6th birthday, Pepper was diagnosed with aplastic anemia—a rare condition where the bone marrow stops making blood cells.

Through months of treatment, hospital stays, and hundreds of blood and platelet transfusions, Pepper received her life-saving bone marrow transplant and is doing remarkably well today! Blood donors saved Pepper’s life—during months waiting for a transplant, and again when her counts recently crashed. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for donating and paying it forward for others in need.

This event is a collaboration between Bloodworks NW, Alki PTA, Alki Elementary, Girl Scout Troop 42174, and Pepper’s amazing family. Thank you to everyone helping to make this drive a success!
