Anniston Bazar became part of our GMA family five years ago when she was about to turn two.
Anniston was diagnosed with Krabbe Disease as an infant, and her family worked hard to bring awareness about the genetic disorder.
In that time, despite being non-mobile and nonverbal, Anniston never let her illness stop her from accomplishing goals.
One of her biggest came in 2016, with the help of her family, she was able to get the Anniston Bazar Act passed in Louisiana. It would make sure that all newborns are tested for Krabbe as part of the newborn screening.
