Holden is 10. 
He loves baseball and wrestling and superheroes. Duh. 
And Holden has leukemia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even superheroes need their fellow superheroes to help them out from time to time, and this is one of those times. Holden needs a bone marrow transplant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some good news: Holden does have a potential donor who has stepped up. However, if this donor is not a match, he will need to find another potential donor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you that hero?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t match Holden, you could possibly save another person\u2019s life. 
Right now, about 7500 Americans are actively searching for a bone marrow donor. To become Holden\u2019s hero or a hero to someone like him, the first step is to visit bethematch.org<\/a> to find out more information and to register online. 
Registering for bone marrow donation is easy and only requires a cheek swab!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
