Boerne donor says cell-therapy center ‘bus’ offers cancer hope

A “one-of-a-kind bus” that helps fight blood cancers with an advanced cell-therapy treatment has its first donor — a Boerne resident — urging others to give so many may live.

Simon Hart, who also is a University of Texas at San Antonio master’s candidate, made the recent donation to BioBridge Global’s mobile leukapheresis cell-therapy center in honor of his father, who died earlier this year from cancer.

Hart, who has been donating blood since he was 16, said when the opportunity to help the mobile center arose, he couldn’t pass up the chance.
