Help fight blood cancer at Atlantic Terminal bone marrow drive
Dean Monaco, an NYPD officer and father from Long Island, was recently diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant to recover and survive. However, in spite of there being 3.5 million registered bone marrow donors nationwide, the likelihood of finding a match is low, demand is higher, and family members having the greatest chance of being a match.
That is why Delete Blood Cancer will be holding a bone marrow drive inside the Atlantic Terminal this Saturday, June 29, from Noon to 3 p.m.. Getting tested is as easy as a swab of inside your cheeks.
The drive will be on the mall side of the Terminal, between Mrs. Fields and Payless Shoes. No prior appointment is needed.
