BENZIE COUNTY -- You have the chance to help save a young boy's life, who has battled cancer for more than 10 years.

Arden fast is a 13 year-old boy who is full of life. He is an energetic soul, who loves fishing, cooking, and taking care of animals.

When Arden was just 3 years-old, he was diagnosed with leukemia and after undergoing many rounds of chemo treatments, he still has not been able to beat the disease.

Right now, Arden is in another round of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation. He is also in great need of a bone marrow transplant.

That's why family members have put together a bone marrow drive in Benzie County, in hopes of finding Arden a match.

To hear from his family and to see pictures of Arden, click on the video above.

The Bone Marrow Drive/ Bake Sale will take place on March 24th, from 12:30pm - 4:30pm at the Benzie Bus Headquarters in Honor.

Benzie Bus is located at: 14150 US 31, Honor
