A bone marrow donor has been found for Riccardo, the seventeen-year-old student of the Cuneo classical high school suffering from myelodysplasia, a serious form of leukemia. This was announced by the school director Alessandro Parola: the boy will thus be able to undergo a transplant in the next few days. In February the Cuneo school launched an appeal to find a compatible donor: a person between the ages of 18 and 35, in good health and willing to undertake the process of typing and registering in the donor register was needed of bone marrow. What followed was a great mobilization throughout the city, with typing days organized directly at school, with the support of the Admo.
