Drew Pearson returns for
Tee It Up to Fight Asplenia

The Pearson family and Travis' family are blessed by a friendship that spans 5 decades. It is only fitting that Drew be part of Travis' team in the fight against Rare Diseases like Isolated Congenital Asplenia.

Although rare, Isolated Congenital Asplenia is severely underdiagnosed as it's usually only discovered at autopsy after a child has suddenly died from sepsis. 

To end childhood death from Isolated Congenital Asplenia, much more research is needed to learn about its cause, diagnosis and treatment.

There is an urgent need for more research on Isolated Congenital Asplenia
