Supporting the Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation: Andrew was a freshman at Salesianum while battling leukemia, septic shock, and complications of childhood cancer for 167 days before passing away on July 14, 2007, at the age of 14. Andrew’s B+ blood type became his family’s and friends’ motto throughout his fight against childhood cancer – to “Be Positive”. ~ taken from the B+ website.
The B+ Foundation also aims "to provide financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer nationwide and fund critical, cutting-edge childhood cancer research."
