A platelet count is just one part of the story. Behind every number is a person with goals, dreams, and a life that extends far beyond a lab result. We celebrate the resilience of everyone who continues to move forward, advocate for themselves, and live life on their own terms.

Meet #ITPWarrior Julia from Germany, a medical assistant living with ITP. Through her journey, she learned that stability matters more than perfect numbers and that quality of life is about much more than a platelet count. 💜 🔗 Read Julia's story at pdsa.org

These words reflect the emotional realities ITP patients quietly navigate every day. Most of the time, you can’t see what’s happening on the inside, but these experiences shape our days, our decisions, and our mental health in ways that aren’t always obvious to others.

Most people don't think about platelets until there's a problem. For people living with ITP, low platelet counts can lead to bruising and bleeding, and an increased risk of serious bleeding complications. #ITP #ITPAwareness

September is ITP Awareness Month 💜 For those living with immune thrombocytopenia, every bruise, platelet count, treatment decision, and milestone tells a story. Join us as we share patient stories, educational resources, and raise awareness and support the ITP community.

When landmarks shine purple, the world pays attention. 💜 This ITP Awareness Month, join our #LightUp4ITP campaign and help illuminate your local community in support of those living with ITP. Download our lighting request template at pdsa.org/itp-awareness-month
