Please Help With Buddy Dollarhite Bone Marrow Transplant-Stuart

March 31, 2011

Won't you please consider supporting Stuart Fire Department Chief Buddy Dollarhite during his time of need. He is facing a bone marrow transplant once a match is found to cure him of Leukemia, a disease he has been living with since 2007.

Volunteers with the local fire department are sponsoring a Bone Marrow Drive to help in finding a match for Buddy and others like him already listed in the 'Be The Match' Registry. There is no cost for anyone at anytime to be tested to see if they are a match, however the lab costs are approximately $100 per kit processed per person. Your support with a tax-deductible donation would help offset this cost. THERE IS NO CHARGE AT ANY TIME FOR A POTENTIAL DONOR. Please make your checks payable to "Be The Match" or to "Stuart Fire Department" indicating your contribution is for the Bone Marrow Drive in Buddy's honor scheduled for Saturday, April 2, 2011 from 11:00 am - 2:00 pm. You can drop your check off on Saturday or mail it directly to Stuart Fire Dept, PO Box 561, Stuart, VA 24171.
