Brad Cross was born with hemophilia, a rare bleeding disorder in which the blood doesn’t clot normally. By age 10, Cross became infected with HIV through contaminated blood supplies that were used in treatments. Cross was one of around 10,000 hemophilia patients who have died to date due to cross-contaminated blood transfusions after contracting HIV/AIDS.
For more than a decade, Brad’s parents, Gary and Karen, became leading figures in the campaign to seek answers, determining what went wrong, where and how.
In a new book Vial 023: A Father’s Pursuit of Justice, Gary Cross writes about his personal life, his son’s deteriorating health and the constant legal battles. He will appear at Barnes & Noble’s Perkins Rowe location (7707 Bluebonnet Blvd. #100) to sign copies of the book Saturday, June 7, at 3 p.m.
