North Vancouver mother Erica Harris needs a bone-marrow transplant to survive, and her family is urging people to become donors to try to save her life, as well as the lives of other patients desperately seeking a match.
Harley Harris hopes his plea to join the Canadian Blood Services (CBS) online donation registry will resonate across B.C. and beyond.
“The message is the importance of how getting on this registry can save lives. Can save Erica’s life. Can save friends, family, loved ones,” said Harris, who has two young sons with his wife, Erica.
