CYNTHIA RODRIGUEZ BONE MARROW DRIVE


Cynthia Rodriguez “C-Rod” is 14-year-old loves to play softball, soccer and basketball.

On August 8, 2010, she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). She endured treatment, and was doing very well, but 20 months later, on March 28, 2012, she relapsed. Now, she must start all over, and this time requires bone marrow transplant from a donor of a similar ethnic background. Her immediate family members are not a match, so we are reaching out to the community. Hispanic donors only constitute 10 percent of the national registry. Could you be the match? A quick cheek swab is all that’s needed. You only need to be between the ages of 18-60, be willing to donate to any patient in need, and meet the health guidelines.  SEE YOU THERE~ THANK YOU
