Hi, I'm Joel Magnuson. I have a disease called Aplastic anemia. The disease is attacking my bone marrow, reducing the amount of blood my body can make. This disease started almost 3 years ago, which I had treatment for, and my body did okay for about 2 years. Last December, my body stopped making blood again. I went through treatment at Mayo Clinic in January. This time, the treatment didn't work. My next option is to have a bone marrow transplant. As of May 27th, I now have a donor lined up. So, when I go through my bone marrow transplant, I will need to live in Rochester for about 4 months.

So, I'm asking for donations to help pay for lodging, travel, food, and medical expenses.

Thanks,

Joel Magnuson
