Diagnosed AML, September 2001
Ethnicity: Korean
Location: New Jersey

Update: Sadly, Jason passed away in Febuary 2003 at the age of 16. He will be remembered for his loyalty, sense of humour and lovable nature.

Jason Oh was 14 years old when he was diagnosed with AML. Standing over 6 feet tall, he was like a gentle giant. He was known for being a funny, sweet, and kind-hearted high schooler who enjoyed spending time with friends and family and playing football. Chemotherapy and radiation put the disease in remission, but he relasped in October 2002. Jason's only hope for survival would be a marrow or stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor.
