Dear Ms. Smith:

On behalf of the Department of Pediatrics and the children we serve, I want to thank you and the Glanzmann's Research Foundation for your generous donation of $45,000 to the work of David Wilcox, Ph.D. in the Department of Pediatrics at the Medical College of Wisconsin.

Your contribution to David and his laboratory helps fulfill our goals to patient-oriented research and community service. It is important for a young, innovative scientist like David to receive these funds which are so critical to his research and the work he is doing in finding a cure for Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia.

Thank you again to the Glanzmann’s Research Foundation for your wonderful contribution to Dr. David Wilcox and the innovative research being done in the fight against Glanzmann’s Thrombasthenia

Sincerely,

Robert M. Kliegman, M.D.
