On June 25^th, 2006,  Mission Honduras LeMars brought Ligia Erazo, along with her sister Virginia and brother Victor, to the National Institute of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, for a bone marrow transplant. Ligia had been diagnosed with life threatening leukemia in her native El Guante, Honduras. Along with a Honduran doctor, officials from Mission Honduras LeMars pushed for her acceptance into the NIH research study. Once Ligia was accepted the NIH rules called for a traveling companion (her sister Virginia), and of course the donor, her brother Victor. Ligia and Virginia remained at the National Institute of Health for a period of about six months while she underwent all her tests and treatments, while her brother Victor returned to Honduras in late summer.  Mission Honduras LeMars was pleased to provide them with transportation from and back to Honduras and publicly thanks the National Institute of Health and all their workers who conduct such life saving treatments. Ligia has been able to return to Honduras and continues to do well. Much thanks to all involved.
