ABINGTON, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — A local teenager in need of a life-saving stem cell transplant is encouraging more people, especially minorities, to join the bone marrow registry.

Juwan Adams, 17, proudly plays the snare drum for the marching band at Abington Senior High school. He’s also on the national honor roll and a math tutor.

Unfortunately, he’s doing all this while also battling cancer. “It’s a little rough some times. There are some days you just want to be normal but other days realize you just have to keep fighting,” he said.
