Local UNH athlete ends career to donate bone marrow
Last month, Cameron Lyle of Plaistow had a decision to make.
He could finish up his senior season of track at the University of New Hampshire, or he could give the season up and have an opportunity to save someones life.
It was a no-brainer.
Lyle will be donating his bone marrow to an anonymous recipient on April 24. As a result, he will have to miss the final two meets of his career, including the America East Championships, where he was hoping to throw shot put .
I knew right away I was definitely going to donate, said Lyle, who graduated from Timberlane Regional High School in 2009. I was pretty terrified at first, but it is starting to settle in.
