Q-Tip, a lifesaving device

Issue of December 4, 2009 / 17 Kislev 5770 By The Jewish Star Staff Over a thousand people were tested at HAFTR High School on Sunday as part of an urgent search for a bone marrow donor for a Westchester man, Alan Cohen. Cohen, 49,   has acute myeloid leukemia. Doctors want him to receive a transplant before the end of the year. Dozens of students from HAFTR, DRS, SKA, Rambam and other local yeshivas assisted. Organizers Jonathan Nierenberg, Dr. Adam Lish, Bentzion Fuchs were “overwhelmed with the response,” Nierenberg said. Testing drives were also held in Passaic and Teaneck. Note: The online version of this story includes the correction of an error in the print edition. It misidentified Mr. Greenberger as another past bone marrow donor. The Star regrets the error.
