Calvin Davis, 14, of Salina, has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and is in urgent need of a blood stem cell transplant, according to DKMS, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to eradicating blood cancers.
A transplant will enable Calvin to return to classes at Salina South High School, as he’s currently studying online while he undergoes treatment, and continue doing the things he loves – playing basketball and soccer, running track and listening to music.
Here's how you can help
DKMS, in partnership with 99KG's Shane McClintock, is sponsoring a blood stem cell donor registration drive to help find a matching donor for Calvin.
The donor registration drive is scheduled for noon-6 p.m. Friday at the Eagle Radio studios, 1825 S. Ohio.
Anyone in good health between ages 18-55 is encouraged to attend the registration drive. Persons attending will review medical eligibility, fill out registration forms, swab the insides of their cheeks, and then drop off their completed packets before leaving the drive, according to DKMS.
