Show Thursday, October THE GREEN SHEET 5B 29, 1987 A To Is California Necessity wodf Farm Trip Are Haunted For West Jordan Youth WEST JORDAN. Many times when a family rides on a plane to Los Angeles they are headed for Disneyland, but this is not the case for Mike and Pat Bowden, and their very sick son, Michael Shane. Shane is 15 years old and suffers from a very rare disease, Aplastic Anemia. He has flown to U.C.L.A. hospital in Los Angeles to undergo a bone marrow transplant which is scheduled later this week. Bone marrow transplants cannot be performed in Utah, but only in California and Washington, D.C. In June the youth had his spleen removed at the Primary Childrens Hospital and during the past couple of weeks he has had more than 24 blood transfusions. The Bowden family lives in West Jordan, but because of his interest in horses Shane is a sophomore at Bingham high school. He has been very active in FFA and is a member of the rodeo club, where he has won many trophies. He is also a member of the Draper Ridge Riding Club and likes doing leather work. Last year around Labor Day Shane expressed to his mother that he was having difficulty breathing. His family took him to Primary Children's Hospital where he was diagnosed as having allergy problems. Later he began having many nosebleeds and the doctors determined that he might have leukemia. After having many tests performed at Primary Childrens Hospital and also checked at hospitals back East and at U.C.L.A., it was concluded that he had Aplastic Anemia and needed a bone marrow transplant. Shane's parents, 12 year old brother, Kyle, and 16 year old sister, Stacie, have had tests performed to determine whose bone marrow is most compatible with Shanes for the transplant. It was decided that his sister Stacie will be the bone marrow as a community to help this family. She added, We would like to express thanks to people who would be willing to help this family in this very difficult situation. They are really good neighbors and Shane is a good student. Their yard is always immaculate and they keep their horses and barn really clean. We are trying to raise donations for this good family. Joyce Maybe, president of the West Jordan Arts council has organized a West Jordan Community Orchestra Concert to be held as a benefit for Shane. It will be held Nov. 20th at West Jordan middle school auditorium beginning at 7:30 p.m. For each $5.00 donation, a ticket for a prize drawing will be given. Members of the West Jordan Chamber of Commerce and local businesses are donating the prizes. The FFA (Future Farmer of America) at Bingham high school has scheduled a blood drive for Shanes blood transfusions, to be held in the commons area at the school Nov. 25th from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00p.m. PTAs in West Jordan and also the high school seminaries are planning on holding some fundraisers as well as The State Riding Club. Information regarding these fundraisers will be forthcoming. ddner. The cost of the operation alone is more than $150,000, excluding many of the expensive tests performed on Shane and on his family members. The family's medical insurance covers only a portion of the operation, medical, and hospital ex- penses. Therefore, neighbors, friends, and community members have united their efforts to set up Anyone interested in helping this family may make a donation by sending a contribution to the Tracy Collins Bank, located at 7080 South 1700 fundraisers and a contribution fund for Shanes bone marrow transplant. Eloise Ostrander, close neighbor, friend and fundraiser organizer said, "We are trying to help his family raise $50,000. Everyone weve talked to has been happy to donate. Weve met with community leaders and invited them to participate in the fundraising. They told us, you bet, weve never had anything like this in West Jordan and it would be great to pull together West. The bank has set up a special acthe name of Michael Shane Bowden to help collect money for his expensive and necessary operation. count in MURRAY.
