Community Rallies Behind LR Mom Battling Leukemia

Posted: March 12, 2012 at 3:23 am

For months we've been following the story of a Little Rock mom diagnosed with leukemia just hours before giving birth to a healthy baby boy. Sunday dozens turned out at a bone marrow drive for her.

Leslie Harris, 29, is now on a mission to get as many people as she can to swab their mouths to see if they could be a potential donor match not just for her but for the thousands of others in need of a transplant.

Doctors have told her she has only months to live unless she has a bone marrow transplant.

Leslie Harris said, "They told me my odds were 1 in 21,000 of finding a donor and my mom got real worried and I told her all we need is one."

Sunday she stopped by a bone marrow drive in North Little Rock to thank everyone who got swabbed to see if they could be a match.
