Sam LeMar, a Westridge sixth grader and brother of Indian Hills 8th grader Elizabeth LeMar, has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. He is currently at the University of MN awaiting a Bone Marrow Transplant. Sam’s friends and family are holding a Bone Marrow Donor Drive in his honor on Saturday, May 10 from 9 to 3 in the Westridge Community Room at 5500 E.P. True Parkway in West Des Moines. It only takes a few moments to have your cheek swabbed to be added to a national registry of bone marrow donors. If you are a match for someone, you will have the opportunity to donate your bone marrow and save a life. Team Sam t-shirts will be available at the drive as well as opportunities to donate to the family. Questions? Contact Nancy Foley at beachbums4@q.
