Guam - A bone marrow drive was held today at the Micronesia Mall in Dededo to help find a match for 18-year-old Matthew Chargualaf. The teenager is currently in California seeking medical treatment there. He is a graduate of George Washington High School and played football at the Mangilao school.

Dr. Thomas Shieh coordinated the event in conjunction with the Hot Rods Car Show to draw in a much different crowd. The bone marrow drives began when the island sought a match for Justice Taitague back in 2003.
