Audrey Nethery became an internet sensation at the age of 6 thanks to her amazing Zumba dance. But it’s the inspiring story that follows this spirited little girl and her battle against a disease called Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) that continues to steal hearts today.

Doctors diagnosed Audrey Nethery with Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) when she was 2 months old. This is a rare blood disorder in which the bone marrow is unable to produce enough red blood cells.

Severe anemia caused by the disorder can be life-threatening. However, the life expectancy of Blackfan anemia is quite favorable as long as patients receive regular quality medical care.
