Dorsey Needs Our Help!

Dorsey Morgan is a 52-year-old who dreamed of the path his life would take, but in reality he knew it was only a dream. After many years of falling repeatedly, hands shaking, the inability to control his bladder, to walk straight or even walk for very long, he was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS), which is the more rare form of MS. Recently he learned he qualified for a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)! Dorsey will have his own stem cells removed, go through chemotherapy, and then have those same stem cells implanted back into his body. This gives him great hope but the transplant is expensive and insurance does not cover the cost.

Dorsey, who grew up in Osceola, AR, drove a truck for 25 years, was an avid motorcycle enthusiast,Loves the Arkansas Razorbacks, enjoys Nascar, and loves spending time with family. He never meets a stranger, loves to talk and to joke around. He used to keep a smile on his face, but that had changed since being diagnosed with PPMS. However after so many years, Dorsey can dream again – of the day when he is able to return to life, to work, and to better health. HSCT will help fulfill Dorsey’s dream of walking down the aisle on the day he weds his fiancee, Judy.
