Mastocytosis Benefit
Recalls Young Victim
Sarah Gittleman was a typical
23-year-old. A Michigan State
graduate in accounting, she was
planning to become a CPA. Sarah
was a young, bright, kindhearted,
ambitious, hardworking over-
achiever, full of energy, enthusi-
asm. She loved to joke and laugh
but most of all she loved her life,
family and friends.
Sarah developed
a very aggressive
form of
Mastocytosis,
caused by an
overabundance of
mast cells in the
body, and under-
Sarah
went a stem-cell
Gittleman
transplant donat-
ed by her sister
Laura. Sarah, however, died on
Dec. 21, 2004, less than one year
after being diagnosed.
The slightly more than 1-mile
walk for the Mastocytosis Society
not only remembers Sarah but
now has about 10 people from
the greater Detroit area coming
to the walk who have some form
of Mastocytosis. Recognizing this,
people who are struggling to sur-
vive on a daily basis brings even
more meaning and commitment to
this very important cause.
This year's event will be Sunday,
Oct. 7, at the Huntington Woods
Recreation Center, 26325 Scotia.
Registration is 9:15 a.m. The walk
starts at 10. Donations can be
made directly by following this
