Registration days for potential stem cell donors will be held this weekend, at Hair to Dye For and Lulu's Oceanside Grill.
BY THE OBSERVER STAFF
Hair to Dye For, at 73 S. Yonge St. will hold a registration event this weekend for potential stem cell donors, following the diagnosis of local Dan Shay with acute myeloid leukemia. Shay is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant.
To become a potential donor for Shay and others like him, fill out a Be the Match application and all that’s needed, then, is a mouth swab. Donors must be ages 18-44.
The registration event will take place noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at Hair to Dye For. Lulu’s Oceanside Grill, at 30 S. Atlantic Ave., will hold a similar event 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 21.
Donations are also being accepted; every $100 raised helps add another member to the donor registry. Visit http://marrow.org.
