Lewes Boy Looking for Bone Marrow Donor
A bone marrow transplant needed for a 19-month old in Lewes. According to the Cape Gazette, Mylz Anderson-Finney was diagnosed in February with acute lymphoblastic leukemia – but your help is needed to find his perfect donor match. This is the most common type of cancer in children – however none of his family members is a match. If you are 18 to 35 and in good health – please join the Gift of Life Marrow Registry.
