Boy, 4 Needs Bone-Marrow Transplant

MYFOXNY.COM - Four-year-old Kai Anderson was diagnosed on April 6, 2009 with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia.

This devastating news came exactly one year to the day after his father, David, was diagnosed with another rare and complicated cancer, Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Kai's only hope for a cure lies in a bone-marrow transplant.

DKMS, the world's largest bone-marrow donor center, is held an emergency, life-saving, bone-marrow donor drive at Montessori School of Manhattan on May 2 to help find a match for Kai and thousands of others just like him who are battling this life-threatening blood disease. Kai attends the Montessori School.

Registration consisted of filling out a form and having cheeks swabbed -- a process that takes less than 10 minutes, and could save a life.
