DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System. The Foundation was formed in 1999 by the family of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 of complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP). The primary mission of the Foundation is to help express gratitude to nurses for the work they do for patients.
