An update, as reported in the Arizona Republic
October 7, 2010
An anonymous donor will cover all costs for a bone-marrow transplant for Mark Price, a Goodyear leukemia patient who became the poster child for Arizonans affected by the state's budget cuts on transplant coverage.
Price's story spread nationally after his doctor, Jeff Schriber, said last week that Price would die without a transplant. The donation would be at least $250,000.
"I've been told we are a go. I'm taking it and running with it," Schriber said Wednesday. Price found two donor matches Saturday. But cuts to the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System went into effect the day before, and Price became ineligible.
