Fundraiser for cancer patient is Sunday

A family's fears have been confirmed.

Blood and bone marrow donor advocate Kelly Marre, whom we wrote about last October, has relapsed in her fight against acute erythroid leukemia, the same disease that claimed her son more than 16 years ago.

Now the Marres are onto Plan B — a bone marrow biopsy, followed by a transplant, for Kelly.

Andrea Moore and friends have organized a fundraiser for the Marres

THIS SUNDAY at 3 Bears on Pittman Road in Wasilla from 6 to 9 p.m.

To become a national bone marrow donor, as per Kelly's request, register at bethematch.com.

To follow Kelly and her journey online, visit her blog at killingleuk.com
