Bone Marrow Donor Drive at Driftwood Day Camp

In Loving Memory of Spencer Reis

Spencer was always an active kid.  He enjoyed soccer, basketball, floor hockey, and most of all gymnastics.  Last summer, while playing on the trapeze, Spencer suffered what should have been a minor injury.  A few days later, he was transported via helicopter to a nearby hospital where he found out he had leukemia.  Sadly on April 15th, 14 year old Spencer lost his battle with cancer.  In his memory, Spencer's family and friends are organizing a bone marrow drive.  They could not save Spencer, but with your help they could find the match for someone else.  It could be you!
