As British pop star Leona Lewis told DKMS of Do Something Award finalist Pat Pedraja, "Not a lot of people know that leukemia is the most common disease children die of in the U.S. Most children and young adults can be given a second chance if a match is found. However, only 2 out of 10 patients end up getting the life-saving treatment. I think it's amazing that Pat, who is organizing donor drives with DKMS is being an advocate for bone marrow registration at such a young age, he is such an inspiration."
Leona has suffered the loss of two cousins who have died from leukemia and cancer.
