08/08/11 A Plea To The Byram Community: Blood and Platelet Donation Needed - Please help

NANCY NATHANSON Needs Blood & Platelets Our member, Nicole Bier's mother, Nancy Nathanson, has just undergone a bone marrow transplant. For those who do not know Nicole, she is mother of Sam who is in the 4's at Temple Sholom, and she is also the mother of Mathew and Seth who are in 3rd grade at Carmel Academy. Nancy is currently a patient at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Her treatment requires regular blood and platelet transfusions, and Nicole, Nancy and their family would deeply appreciate your donation of blood and/or platelets and requests that you ask others you know to donate. Donations not used by Nancy will be released for use by other patients, many of whom are children. To benefit Nancy, all designated donations must be made in the Blood Donor Room of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
