Kim McGrath was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago and underwent several surgeries and treatment. A recent biopsy revealed that she has leukemia. She is now undergoing chemotherapy and will subsequently require a bone marrow transplant.
Her husband, Jeremy McGrath, is asking volunteers to sign up for a bone marrow drive as soon as possible in hopes of finding a match for her. To learn more about Kim McGrath or to make an online donation, visit: www.bethematchfoundation.org/goto/kimmcgrath
