Sonoma toddler needs life-saving bone marrow transplant

SONOMA, Calif. (KTVU) -- 14-month-old Jack suffers from a rare auto-immune disorder. 

He is one of approximately 30 people in the world  diagnosed with x-linked lymphoproliferative disease type 2.

The illness has forced Jack and his family to live in isolation as they wait for a life-saving bone marrow transplant. 

Unfortunately, there is no match for Jack in the international bone marrow registry. 

His family is hoping to spread the word about Jack's story in hopes a donor can be found.

A donation registry drive will be held at the Sonoma Farmers Market on Tuesday, August 11th from 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm.
