On November 20,2019 4 year old McCoy, was diagnosed with High Risk B Cell Leukemia (ALL). McCoy received several transfusions of blood and platelets within the first 24 hours of her diagnosis.
The donor blood she received was from Miller-Keystone Blood Center.
Thanks to donors like you, McCoy is able to fight back against this aggressive cancer. Blood donors save lives and we are incredibly grateful for all those who donate.
