A local couple is desperately searching for a bone marrow donor for their 4-year-old son. The little boy’s parents are of different races, making it very difficult to find a match. And time is running out. Devan Tatlow’s parents have just 12 weeks to find a donor.
A bone marrow drive will be held at Turtle Park in the Van Ness neighborhood of Northwest Washington on Saturday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The parents hope to find a match — while also raising awareness of the need of mixed race donors. But doctors say that could be difficult, given that Devan is a mix of European and Indian ancestry. It’s a 1 in 200,000 chance.
