Alameda, CA, May 12, 2015 – Jude Cobler, a 10-year-old boy who lives in Dallas,Texas, is going through what few of us can even imagine.  In early April, Jude and his family learned that he had relapsed after five years in remission from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

Jude is of mixed heritage – Filipino and Caucasian.  A marrow transplant is Jude’s only hope for his long-term survival.  A marrow matching donor must be located before any transplant takes place.
