Kristin Reinhart

On May 1, 2024, Kristin Reinhart received a life-saving stem cell transplant after battling rare bone marrow failure disorders. Diagnosed with aplastic anemia at age 19, she went into remission  and enjoyed nearly twenty years of stability. In 2022, her condition advanced to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), which led to her transplant. This journey of illness, recovery, and renewal has  strengthened her resilience, compassion, and outlook on life.

Kristin now serves as a board member for the Aplastic Anemia and Myelodysplasia Association of Canada (AAMAC), advocating for awareness, research, and support for patients nationwide. For  nearly twenty years, Kristin has also worked as a social worker focusing on perinatal mental health, helping mothers and families navigate the challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting. Residing in rural southern Saskatchewan, she is the proud mother of two teenage daughters and a passionate advocate for hope, awareness, and blood disease support.
