Criscell and Spencer: Alex

My little sister took some pictures of Alex. This one is my favorite.

Luekemia/Bone Marrow Transplant

Criscell is a survivor of ALL Leukemia. She was diagnosed in Feb. '99. She survived only because she had a bone marrow transplant. Her hero, was her little sister Elicia. At the time Elicia was only 8 and Criscell 16. Some are not as lucky and don't have family matches that are perfect. Every one should be on a bone marrow donor list. It is not like donating an organ.In fact it is usually an outpatient or one day thing. People think it is a major surgery. It's not! You could be that match for someone out there. What are you waiting for?
