Donate blood and Join the stem cell registry In Honour of Dustin: Monday, October 2nd at the North Grenville Municipal Centre
1:30 pm to 4 pm and 5 pm to 7:30 pm
Dustin was diagnosed with MDS (myelodisplastic syndrome) in
April. In May we learned that he had found a match and would
have a stem cell transplant in the coming weeks. At his
consultation appointment he was admitted to the hospital with a
virus. Little did we know the MDS and virus would stir a rare
disease that would require hardcore chemo along with multiple
blood transfusions. Dustin received well over 125 transfusions, 21
of which were received on his last day with us. Our goal, in
Dustin's honour, is to replenish those 125 units (and then some)
and to build the stem cell bank.
