A Drive for "Superhero Alex"

According to CBS 12 in Providence, a bone marrow drive is being held March 12 from 9 A.M. to noon to help a Somerset teenager battling Leukemia. Alex Rogers, 16, who is better known as "Superhero Alex," has Leukemia. Alex is also living with Down Syndrome and recently beat COVID-19. He spent the holidays in the hospital and will likely be heading back there soon for a bone marrow transplant.

 

To potentially find Alex a match, the Somerset Fire Department is hosting the drive. Chief Jamison Barrows said a team of off-duty staff members will be welcoming guests.
