Matt Bumpas
Auburn PD and Placer County (CA)

Kevin, 

Auburn PD Dispatcher Laura Bumpas and Placer County Sheriff's Deputy Bob Bumpas are in the fight of their lives trying to save their son Matt who is battling Leukemia.  Matt has Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML), which is an extemely aggressive form of leukemia.  It is fequently caused by chemical exposures (specifically Benzene & radiation).  Matt served in the Army in Iraq and guarded chemical spills and sites.  He has under gone his 1st round of chemo and unfortunately his blood/plasma levels are decreasing.  His wife is due with their 2nd child in Nov.  We are asking those folks in the law enforcement community to make a donation of blood.  An account is in his name with Blood Source- if you donate you can use his number P560 or his name "Matthew Bumpas" to find the nearest Blood Source go to http://www.smfbc.org.  We will be holding a blood drive and dessert social in Auburn Thursday Sept 14,2006 from 1300-1800. 

Thank you, 
Jane Jimenez, Communication Supervisor
Placer County Sheriff
