Dany Mercado wept yesterday when he met the "angel" who saved his life.
Mercado, a 26-year-old Kitchener engineering student had been diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2002 and was fighting for his life with chemotherapy awaiting a bone marrow transplant. Meanwhile, south of the border, Dr. Wes Hamilton, 30, of Abilene, Tex., became a bone marrow donor during his first year of medical school in 2002. He donated the blood that gave Mercado a new lease on life on a whim because he was hungry and the program was offering free food.
