Two years ago Anthony Lee was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, a condition where lhe
body stops producing enough blood cclls to replenish the dying ones. He has gone
through many treatments and just recently had an unsuccessful operation. He is currently
down al Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor and the doctors say they believe his only
hope is to find a suitable bone marrow donor. It’s hard for Anthony to find a donor
because his ethnicity consists of half South Korean, as well as Anishinaabe, German and
Scottish.
