DKMS bone marrow registration drive to be held in Haddonfield
Community members will come together and swab their cheeks in hopes to find a lifesaving bone marrow donor for 35-year- old Jason Kilderry, a local father, athlete and life and fitness coach. The drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 2, at Haddonfield Running Company, 121 Kings Highway E., Haddonfield. Kilderry was recently diagnosed with Heptosplenic T-Cell lymphoma, a rare time of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and a bone marrow transplant is his best chance at survival. Despite his health crisis, Kilderry continues to inspire those around him to make positive change through his coaching, consulting and public speaking.
