Ed Lacerte's family, the Celtics, and the NBA are teaming with the NMDP to raise awareness for a life-saving registry.
In the blink of an eye, Dr. Ed Lacerte and his family saw their world change. His symptoms and diagnosis of acute monocytic leukemia occurred suddenly and out of nowhere, according to them.
How are they responding to the fight for his life? By trying to save as many people as possible.
Thanks to Lacerte's family, the Boston Celtics, the NBA, USA Basketball, and the National Basketball Athletic Trainers Association [NBATA] have partnered with the National Marrow Donor Program [NMDP] to raise awareness for its registry.
