JonTavius Lake Honored as Black History Maker of Alabama
JonTavius Lake- Cured of Sickle Cell
92.9 WTUG, Praise 93.3, and 105.1 The Block in partnership with Robinson Automotive, the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, Delta Phi Lambda Chapter, the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Eta Xi Omega Chapter, along with Lanier Automotive, Bryant Bank, and Dixie Motors in Northport, we are proud to salute JonTavius Lake.
JonTavius Lake is the first person in Alabama to be cured of Sickle Cell through a Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplant. Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, he recalls the days of feeling pain as early as kindergarten and having to go to the Emergency Room. His mother would be right by his side, holding his hand and telling him everything would be alright.
