Police officer organizes bone marrow drive for strangers
Iowa City officer Mike Smithey starts a bone marrow donor registry drive at the Iowa City Public Library from 4 p.m. He was inspired by Cameron Lyle and a college friend’s need. About 70 percent of patients lack a family match, so a world wide donor is crucial. Healthy people 18 to 44 can join with a cheek swab and may donate.
