When Patrick Girondi’s son was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, he made a deal with God if he’d only save his son’s life. Now Girondi is keeping his side of the deal.

“When Rocco was diagnosed, I'll never forget it. We went to Piezo, Italy, to see about a match [for a bone marrow or stem cell transplant], and we found out that there was no match in the family. I guess that was probably the only time in my life I can ever remember being desperate, and I promised the Lord that if he would help me save Rocco's life, that I would dedicate the rest of my life to fighting these rare diseases.

When he was diagnosed and they told me this word—thalassemia—I couldn't spell it. I could barely pronounce it. And then the explanation and the education about all of these rare diseases and all of these families who are stuck with this egregious, horrific news. And I'm more fortunate than others because…I had the resources.

…So that's what I mean by: I will dedicate the rest of my life. And after I'm gone…I hope that the company is around, that we can continue to dedicate the resources,” says Girondi.
