PLEASE be Owen's hero and log onto www.aheroforowen.com today! Owen Hogan is a two and 1/2 year old boy who suffers from Aplastic Anemia.  This disorder stops the body from producing blood cells and can result in fatigue, easy bruising, poor clotting, and impairs the body's ability to fight infection.  But above all, it is life threatening.  Owen has gone through months of failed treatment and his best chance of survival is a bone marrow transplant.  The family has yet to find a match, but the more the word gets out, hopefully a donor can be found.  It is very simple, log on, read, and join the registry which is a painless cheek swab that you can complete at home.  The website also offers detailed information about the outpatient donation procedure. 
Owen Hogan and his dad, Firefighter Tim Hogan.
