Dallas Charge Leads the March for Emily’s Match

June 16, 2015

The Dallas Charge wants to lead the march for Emily’s match. This Thursday, June 18, the Dallas Charge will be playing the Pennsylvania Rebellion. The night will be in honor of Emily Thompson. Emily is a normal thirteen year old who loves to sing and play the guitar and flute. She was recently diagnosed with severe aplastic anemia and is in need of a marrow transplant. None of her family members were a match, so she needs people like you to join the Be the Match Registry to help her, and others like her, who need a marrow transplant.
