#SydStrong Be the Match Donor Registry Event

Saturday, January 7

Join the Bone Marrow Registry Drive at the Hope Center in Plano on Saturday, January 7, at 10:00 a.m. for #SydStrong Be the Match Donor Registry Event.

On November 17th, Sydney Galway was diagnosed with Leukemia - specifically AML, Acute Myeloid Leukemia. This type of Leukemia requires an aggressive treatment and, to be cured, a bone marrow transplant is essential. Sydney did not match to any family members and will need a non-relative donor to be cured.

To help, all you need is to be between the ages of 18-44, be willing and committed to donate to any patient in need, and meet the health guidelines. If you qualify, please consider getting tested, it just involves a simple cheek swab.
