SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes are joining Be The Match in their campaign to help find a bone marrow match for 4-month-old Bruno Lara, who was recently diagnosed with an extremely rare immunodeficiency disease called HLH. Be The Match will be in the 7UP Epicenter at the Quakes game on Saturday, March 24 at 7:15 p.m. against Club Leon, collecting cheek swabs to register fans in the bone marrow registry.
Lara, whose family has Quakes Season Passes, needs chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant to treat this life-threatening condition, but does not have a match and is racing against the clock to find one.
