Bone Marrow Registry Drive for Baby King

Ed Smith School 1106 Lancaster Ave. , Syracuse

Baby King is a local 3-year-old African-American boy who was born with CD40 Ligand deficiency, a hereditary immune disease that will become fatal without a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow drive to join the national bone marrow registry will be held at 5:30 Nov. 17 at Ed Smith School. Paperwork, a cheek swab and 15 minutes of your time is all it takes to get tested to see if you may be the match for Baby King.
