Saxton Dunlap’s Next Step Is One That Needs A Wide Net To Be Cast

The lacrosse goal is 6 by 6.
The net we need as a lacrosse community is a good deal wider.
But the good news is we need to only score one goal in it.
And that goal only needs one assist.
But it also needs a lot of passes to set it up.
Saxton Dunlap was diagnosed with T-cell lymphoma in May, 2020. He needs to find a matching donor so he can have a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. The best chance of finding a match is with someone who shares the same genetic heritage. Because Saxton is African American/White, his best chance of a match is with someone who is also multi-racial. That’s the goal. Let’s get to work. Spread the news to all we know. And put this one in the win column.Here’s the link: SAXTON’S ARMY
WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Join the registry! If you are 18-35 and in good health, you may be Saxton’s perfect match. Click on the blue “Get Swabbed” button.
- Sponsor a swab kit. Lab processing of every kit costs $60. Your contribution will help add new donors to the registry, who may be a match for Saxton or other patients. Click on the orange “Give to My Circle” button.
- Spread the word. Use the social media links to the right to share Saxton’s story in your Facebook and Twitter account. The more people who order a swab kit and join the registry, the faster Saxton will find a donor. #SaxtonsArmy
