For you locals:
"Charlestown Residents Form "Gage's Gang - East Coast". You have the ability to Save A Life. Come to the Bone Marrow Donor Drive Sun Nov 26th at the KofC in Charlestown and you just might be able to save this 5 year old's life."

Thanks Chewy
He is now in my prayers, too bad we are too far away to test for bone marrow match.
Pray to God that a suitable donor will be found soon.
Painfree wishes to all.

Thanks for sharing his story with us Don.
Children should not have to suffer like that.
I hope a donor is found soon.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

They are from out West. I good friend of mine hosted Gage and his family out here so he could recieve treatments at Mass General last summer.
We have arranged for a local cable company to send him streaming video of the upcoming event. He has been adopted by evreyone in Charlestown.
This guy has just got to make it.

This little guy has to get better. He's in my thoughts and prayers.
I think being a donor is much easier today than it was.

Best of luck little buddy.

That's the hardest thing to read that I've seen in a long time.
I feel very helpless. I hope that the drive finds a suitable donor for him very soon.
All the best to this little guy. My good wishes and hopes are not much help, I know, but I will be thinking about him.
Thank you, Don.
Best,
George

It is possible to be checked....Here`s how...
If you want to register as a bone marrow donor and can't make it out to one of the drives please visit the DKMS Americas myspace page at www.myspace.com/dkmsamericas or at our webpagewwww.dkmsamericas.org.You can get more information about who they are, what they do, and how to receive a Donor Testing Kit in the mail. And just like at all of their drives there is no cost to you to register. They just want to save lives and need your help. So register for Gage Dole and the thousands of other people who need a bone marrow transplant.
Thank You!

Ramon and I are both on the national registry, and we're both organ donors....
****altho - we registered a like 10 years ago - do we need to update it?? and I also developed RA since then - I dont even know if I'm eligible anymore. I am going to check into that.... if nothing else - this post reminds me to do that...
thanks.
I added the little guy to my friends...
I hate seeing anyone go thru this crap --- and kids - well, it's just not fair.

Reminds me of a little guy I use to know. It makes me feel so bleesed. Looking at his picture and looking at JD just scares the life out of me.
I hope they find a match. Wishing, praying and doing are different things. God bless this Child and the Donors.

Rips your heart to read, we will be thinking of this little soldier and praying for him to win his fight. Praying that they find a match among all the good folk trying to help.

If you cannot become a donor, it is possible to help in other ways, through sponsorship, assistance at donor drives, or monetary donations.
