Furman baseball player gives a chance of life

GREENVILLE, SC (FOX Carolina) -
A Furman baseball player will miss playing against Clemson on Tuesday but it isn't from injury.

Jake Kinsley, a senior, will donate bone marrow Monday to a 55-year-old mother in need.

Kinsley originally tested for matches on Furman's campus while in a class. He wasn't a match but his testing was put into the international Bone Marrow Transplant registry on BeTheMatch.org.

Kinsley received a call during the middle of winter workouts and tested to see if he was a match. He was the perfect match and will now have a chance at saving a woman's life.

Kinsley will miss practice and the game against Clemson. The procedure will last six to eight hours Monday.

Kinsley's last practice before the procedure will be today at 4 p.m. at Latham Stadium on campus.

I've thought about becoming a bone marrow donor since we tried to use our little girls organs when we lost her. She was to little but we had hoped to help some of the other infants in CMC NICU. I'd love to know that I saved a life. Kudos to the young man for having the heart to do what he is doing. TU to him!!!!
