MAN WITH AGGRESSIVE BLOOD CANCER SEARCHES FOR LIFESAVING STEM CELL DONOR
Gift of Life Marrow Registry seeks 18–35-year-olds to join registry at GiftofLife.org/Mike
BOCA RATON, FL, June 12, 2025 – Gift of Life Marrow Registry is urgently seeking a matching blood stem cell or marrow donor for MIKE CAMPANER. He is a 51-year-old husband, father of two boys who is battling Acute Myeloid Leukemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer. He is in urgent need of a blood stem cell or marrow transplant from a donor in order to survive.
Campaner does not have a matching donor in his family, so they are turning to the community for support. He is of European and Latin American descent and his best chance of finding a match is with someone of similar ancestry. His family is working with Gift of Life Marrow Registry to test volunteer donors to learn if they are a match for Mike or another patient in need. Anyone 18 to 35 years old and in general good health can join the registry with a simple cheek swab.
Campaner’s community in Port Washington, New York will be holding a donor recruitment drive from noon to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 29, 2025, at the Protection Fire Engine Company No. 1, 14 South Washington St., Port Washington, N.Y. Those who are unable to attend in person may request a registration kit to be mailed to their home by visiting https://www.giftoflife.org/Mike and clicking on the blue “Join Registry” button.
“By becoming a blood stem cell donor, you have the opportunity to offer a lifeline to Mike,” said Gift of Life Director of Donor Recruitment Chris Camacho. “Your act of kindness could bring hope and healing not just to him, but to his entire family that loves and needs him.” To hold a donor recruitment drive at your school, center of worship, or in your community, email Camacho at ccamacho ( @ ) giftoflife dot org dot
Mike can also be supported through donations to his family’s fundraising “Donor Circle” campaign. Every gift to this circle helps Gift of Life add new donors to the registry and goes directly toward testing swab kits in order to find matches for him and other patients.
