On February 17, 5-year-old Jake was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia, a disease in which his bone marrow stopped producing blood and platelets. He needs a marrow transplant to live a long & healthy life.
On Sunday, July 8th McLynn's Restaurant in Springfield will generously donate 20% of your lunch/dinner food tab, eat-in or take out, to Be The Match in Jake's name. Come join us at McLynn's on Sunday.
Donations go to pay for the cost of processing cheek swab kits to find Jake's match.
Stop by for lunch, dinner or a late night snack ~ 11:00am - 1:30am closing.
