I told you about pretty little Makaeya Lynn Wheeler yesterday. She has MLD, a rare disease that attacks the nervous system. muscles and organs. It will worsen over time. There is no cure. Eventually, this will end her life.
A bone marrow or stem cell implantation can extend her life and give it some quality. With the time bought, perhaps a cure can be found.
I've just been told there is a bone marrow drive being held today (Friday) at Lafayette College Kirby Field House from 11-1 and 4-7. It's just a simple cheek swab to see if you are a match for Makaeya.
Sorry for the short notice.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Damn! I'll never make it to PA in time. Plus I don't have liberty to travel this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if they do this again.
Hopefully, they will find a match soon. Peace, ~~Alex+
Alex, I had to miss it myself.
ReplyDeleteThey are having another one on May 8th at the Easton Community Center. Not sure of the time yet.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Easton Community Center? I have never heard of it before. Is that the place where the senior citizens gather for lunch in the northwest quadrant of The Circle?
ReplyDeletePeace, ~~Alex
I am not sure of where it is either. As soon as I get more details, I'll post here.
ReplyDeleteThe Easton Community Center is the former St. Anthony's Youth Center.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Peace, ~~Alex
