17-year-old Taylor John has severe sickle cell disease; her best hope for a cure is a marrow transplant. Like 70 percent of patients, Taylor does not have a matching donor in her family. A self described “huge Harry Potter fan”, Taylor likens her battle to the same theme where Potter and his friends are the marrow donor heroes who ban together to wipe out the evil Voldemort (Sickle Cell Disease).
She says that after being cured she wants to rejoin her church dance team she loved so much when she was younger.
