Michael Franti & Soles4Souls Bid On Michael Jordan Shoes To Help Families In Need
Inspired by Michael Franti and hearing of his support for Soles4Souls, Josh Cranfill knew he had to do his part to support Franti’s mission of collecting 100,000 pairs of shoes. Cranfill donated several pairs of original Air Jordans from his personal collection at the Michael Franti & Spearhead concert in Philadelphia, PA. The 22 authentic pairs of Michael Jordan’s are collectibles for any fan and are being auctioned off on ebay by Soles4Souls to help meet Franti’s goal.

The current odds for an ethnic minority patient, like Natalie to find a matching unrelated donor may be close to 1 in a million. This is the reason they are trying so hard to reach as many people in the Asian population as possible. The more Asians we get swabbed, the more likely Natalie will find her “Needle In A Hay-Stack” match. Please spread the word to get people interested in the fight to SAVE Natalie’s life.
