Ryder was diagnosed with a rare disease, which, in most cases, leads to leukemia. The child’s family is hoping someone will be able to help the boy.
Ryder Washington was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome last year. The boy’s condition is rare: Only one in 200,000 people are diagnosed with MDS, and very few are his age. It is especially difficult for him, as Ryder is scared of needles.
There was a car show and donor drive on Sunday (April 24) from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
