10th ANNIVERSARY
Wayne and Jonna Rodol ch recreating their walk down the hall.
On January 30, 2013, my daughter, 14-month-old Jonna, was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP). She was admitted to USA Children’s and Women’s Hospital with a dangerously low platelet count of 2, and I spent countless hours holding her hand and walking her up and down the halls. After six months in and out of the hospital and multiple treatments and transfusions, she was miraculously healed. We took the silhouette of that picture from one of the darkest moments of our lives and turned
it in to something positive – the inspiration for the Aaron Jones Family Interactive Center logo. – Wayne Rodolfich
