Save A Life

I just read an article from Paige Harden in the Columbus Republic Newspaper. It touched my heart and I hope touches yours. The article was about Columbus resident, John Romine. John is a 21 year old who is a junior at Purdue. John has been fighting recurrent, resisting Hodgkin's lymphoma.
He has had chemotherapy, radiation, a stem-cell transplanted and most recently proton-beam radiation. While waiting for insurance to approve the proton-beam therapy, the cancer spread to John's lungs. His last option is a bone marrow transplant. None of his family members are a match, in fact only four people in the world had the potential of matching and three of them were only a 60% match. The last possible match cannot be retested until the end of September.
JOHN NEEDS HELP!!He will continue having chemo to keep the cancer at bay until a match is found.
