Bone marrow drive on June 20th to honor the 6th birthday of Mayfield's Sydney Gavan

A new bone marrow donor drive is being held from 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday, June 20th at the offices of Todd A. Courser & Associates, PLLC, 455 S. Main Street in Lapeer.

Members of the community who are between the ages of 18-60 and in good general health are invited to join the "Be the Match Registry" in honor of Sydney's birthday and as a gift to her and her family, and thousands of patients like her, by increasing the chances of finding the match they desperately need.

The first 232 (increased since the video below was produced) test kits will be offered free of charge, thereafter they will be offered for a discounted fee of $25 which covers the cost of lab fees. Tax-deductible donations of any size will be accepted and appreciated for those with the ability to pay.

Questions regarding this event can be directed to Janelle Jackson at 810-358-9683 or at janellejackson73@gmail.com

Here's a short video on Sydney.
