Voodoo Child v. 16: it doesn't have to be eternal to be immortal.

I’d like to tell you about, Harrison Leonardo, a two-year old boy who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. His father, OJ Padua Leonardo, is a San Francisco Fire Department firefighter. His mother, Stephanie Isaacson, is a public affairs representative with Pacific Gas and Electric. He has a baby brother named Lucas. Harrison is fighting Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), a rare form of cancer. He was diagnosed in early 2006 and went into remission in August. He relapsed just before Thanksgiving and is currently undergoing chemotherapy and needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. None of his immediate family members are suitable donors.

Finding a suitable donor is particularly difficult because he is bi-racial Filipino and Caucasian.  There is a severe shortage of asian american donors on the national database. Biracial donors are even more rare. Please take a moment to visit his website  www.helpharrison.com  to see if there is something you might do to help Harrison find his miracle match.  If you are already registered on the national marrow donor database, thank you!  Your gift could save this young boy’s or another person’s life.

I am putting together a drive where I work and would love to have you come out to help with the cause. Just remember, this is not for Harrison, it's for everyone who needs a bone marrow transplant around the nation. email me if you want to come out to the event. you can also order free kits if you're too busy to come out. See Harrison's site if you want to order some.

I'm on the registry already. Are you?
