A college football player from Delaware County is giving the gift of life by donating bone marrow and he hopes to inspire others to do the same.
After six months, he found he had a match with a woman who has cancer and, although he never met her, he was ready to donate his bone marrow to help her.
"I had a grandmother who had cancer," Garnes said. "What if she needed something that this woman needs?""My first test was during the season on our bye week," said Garnes. "I had to take some blood to make sure I was able to do this. They knew the bone marrow was good but they had to make sure everything else was okay so I could move on with each process.
He will have the surgery January 4th in Boston, with two incisions in his hips that will heal in time. "I could be down for two weeks or so and she’s going to be alive," Garnes said. "That’s been in my head. I take hits and bruises all the time. I feel like it’s just another day."Anyone interested in Be the Match can get information at the
