Moorpark College’s FLeX Club is hosting their 3rd annual Xtreme Raider Challenge event Saturday, Nov. 22 from 9am- 4pm in order to fight cancer and save a life.
This year’s XRC is special because it is used as a “Be The Match” event dedicated to find a bone marrow donor for MC’s alumnus and Marine Veteran Chris Leatart, who has been diagnosed with leukemia.
Many vendors and stands will be attending the event in support of Leatart and also to spread awareness for leukemia. City of Hope, one of the booths that are planned to be at the event, will have an information table for any questions and also will be available for cheek-swab kits for anyone who is interested in “being a match.”
