Martin Lintag, one of Ferris family alumni, has been diagnosed of leukemia.  He only has between 3 months to 1 year to live  and urgently needs a stem cell transplant to survive.  Lintag’s family has already lost his only brother, Oscar, who was a Ferris alumni.   

His family and friends are hosting another stem cell drive this weekend in a bid to save his life.  They are asking anyone aged 17 to 35 to come swab their cheeks Saturday or Sunday to see if they are a match for Lintag.
