Cannan’s Story: How Plasma Donation Changed One Young Life

At Fresenius Kabi, our purpose is clear: to improve the lives of patients and families through the therapies we help make possible. 

Meet Cannan Caton, a young boy living with Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), a rare immune disorder that makes it difficult for his body to fight infections. To stay healthy and active, Cannan depends on intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy, a treatment made possible by plasma donation. 

Thanks to generous plasma donors—and the therapies we help bring to life—Cannan is thriving: playing baseball, helping out on the family farm, and enjoying time with his loved ones. 

“It’s easy to forget that plasma donation impacts real lives—until you meet someone like Cannan.”

His story reminds us that behind every product and process is a patient, a family, and a future. 

Watch Cannan’s story below and join us in raising awareness about the lifesaving power of plasma donation.
