Bossier Sheriff Deputies help one of their own

70% of those who need a Stem Cell or Bone Marrow Transplant, don't have a matching donor.

They are relying on a complete stranger to help save their life.

It could be you.

LifeShare Blood Centershopes to change that percentage.

Today from 12pm-6pm, LifeShare and the Bossier Sheriff's Department are joining forces in a Blood Drive/Bone Marrow Registration event.

It all takes place at the Bossier Sheriff Substation, 2510 Viking Drive (in Bossier City).

The Bossier Sheriff's Department is getting involved because one of their own is in need of someone who is a match for Bone Marrow.

Sgt. Barrett Lovell (33), has been aggressively fighting cancer for the past three months.

Lovell works in the Corrections Division for the Bossier Sheriff's Office, and was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

He's been undergoing chemotherapy and multiple blood transfusions, and needs a stem cell transplant.
