Bay Ridge firefighter saves war vet’s life through bone marrow donation
A Bay Ridge firefighter saved a life without putting out a blaze or being in the line of duty.
Twenty-six-year-old Firefighter Michael McCauley of Engine Company 242 in Bay Ridge met the man who received his bone marrow donation, retired Marine Aaron Faulkner and his wife Leslie, for the first time during the 11th annual “Honor Roll of Life.”
Faulkner had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer of the blood and bone marrow, necessitating the donation.
