New blood drive planned for child
A final blood drive to benefit Chrissy Nelson, a leukemia patient in need of a bone marrow transplant, will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Rio.
If a bone marrow match is found for the 8-year-old cancer patient, she will need a large amount of blood and platelets until her bone marrow can produce its own components.

Eligible donors must be at least 17 years old and 110 pounds. Typical donation time is 60 to 90 minutes.
