From JohnJYork

I’m John York. Most people know me as Mac on General Hospital, but my most important role is husband to my wife Vicki, father to my daughter Schyler, son-in-law Mike, and Pop Pop to my three grandkids (and one on the way!).

Last December I started a battle against a blood disorder known as myelodysplastic syndrome. After several chemo treatments and bone marrow biopsies, my doctors have recommended a blood stem cell transplant. I’m working with Be The Match, a global leader working every day to save lives through cell therapy, to identify a matching donor, and would appreciate any support you can offer this organization and the patients they help.

Show your support for my journey by joining the donor registry, or by making a tax-deductible contribution. Your gift delivers cures to patients desperate for a second chance at life.

@CherryHugs   Pretty sure that's the same disease that Robin Roberts of ABC had.

 

We had a friend that had it, it was brutal.

Yes, I remember Robin Roberts had this disease.

Sending prayers to one of my favorite General Hospital stars,
