On May 31, 2020, at four years old, Owen was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Owen is a happy, energetic little boy who loves biking, swimming, snowboarding , Minecraft, Nerf guns, and the Avengers. He is being treated at Maria Fareri Hospital and has received over a dozen lifesaving transfusions. These have included blood, platelets and antibody transfusions. As Covid-19 forced the closure of hundreds of blood drives and postponed surgeries that are now being performed at increased demand, there is a desperate shortage of blood product.
