Help Johnna Find Her Match
Meet Johnna, a vibrant 15-year-old from Newton, KS, who is bravely battling acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
About Johnna
Despite finishing her first round of treatments, her doctors have determined she urgently needs a stem cell transplant to continue her fight. Unfortunately, an initial search has not identified an adequate match for Johnna, and her younger siblings are currently being tested. But there’s still hope, and you can be part of it!
Johnna is more than just a fighter. She’s a member of her high school’s volleyball team, plays flute in the band, and before her diagnosis, was preparing to try out for the swim team and track. Her dad and stepmom describe her as the best big sister anyone could ask for.
After a tough start to her diagnosis, Johnna has found strength and positivity, supported by her family, teammates, and her three beloved dogs. Her resilience inspires everyone around her, but now she needs a hero like you.
