The Record
RIDGEWOOD — For two years, Anthony Daniels has been fighting a ferocious form of cancer, twice beating it into remission. Months ago, the cancer returned.
Now, the 22-year-old village resident is praying for a Christmas miracle — one that might take place Saturday.
Just four days before the holiday, Ridgewood Village Hall will host a donor drive, aimed at finding possible matches for Daniels.
During the drive, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., healthy people ages 18 to 44 will undergo a cheek swab. Volunteers must be willing to donate to any patient.
A match could mean a lifesaving bone marrow stem cell transplant for Daniels, a Fordham University business student and former Ridgewood High School hockey player who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 20.

Is 48 yrs old close enough?
