Its been known In the garage and at grill outs/card nights for a long time. Hell as long as Ive know the guy and been able to call him my best friend he has gone through alot. Diagnosed with this misdiagnosed with that. that didnt stop him form racing bmx, skateboarding with me or flat out raising hell. Hes probably gonna punch me for putting this up here but I love him and we are fighting for a cure.

Jason Soudrette has been diagnosed with MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome). There are multiple syndromes which are all disorders of the stem cell in the bone marrow. In MDS, hematopoiesis (blood production) is disorderly and ineffective. The number and quality of blood-forming cells decline irreversibly, further impairing blood production. Patients with MDS often develop severe anemia and require frequent blood transfusions. In most cases, the disease worsens and the patient develops cytopenias (low blood counts) due to progressive bone marrow failure.

There are a couple options as far as treatment. None easy painless or non invasive.

A bone marrow transplant is the most likely route but Jason is still without a match so we are raising funds and awareness for BE THE MATCH .
