Community turns out to join national bone marrow registry for a Stow native's wife whose leukemia returned.
Dominic J. Martucci, 35, of Akron doesn’t know Amelia Lincoln. It didn’t matter though, he joined the national bone marrow registry after his sister-in-law Ann Marie Patterson asked for help. “Ann Marie’s a friend,” Martucci said. “Bottom line: She supported my family, so I’m here to support hers.” Amelia, wife of Stow native James Patterson, had her leukemia relapse and is in need of bone marrow stem cells.

A woman from Vermont with many ties to Stow is looking for a bone marrow match after her leukemia relapsed.
She's miles away in Vermont, but a group of Stow people organizing a bone marrow drive Saturday for a friend with leukemia hope to find someone in northeast Ohio who is a match for Amelia Lincoln. Lincoln, who is married to 1999 Stow-Munroe Falls High School graduate James Patterson, recently relapsed which prompted friends to take action. "He told me his wife relapsed with leukemia and we put this all together," said Annal Vyas, a close friend of the couple who were married in 2005.

You can get a good idea of the people involved by going to volunteeramelia.…
