Kathy Costello attended Bishop Kearney and is a life-long Irondequoit resident. In 1998, she started Christopher's Challenge after her son, Christopher suffered from leukemia and was in need of a bone marrow transplant. Christopher's Challenge goal is to increase the number of people in the unrelated Bone Marrow Donor Registry. They do this by paying for the typing of samples for individuals willing to become potential donors. Christopher is now a healthy young adult free of leukemia due to the transplant he received in 1998. So far, the non-profit is responsible for over 5600 people being typed at a cost of $47,000. Typing is easy according to Tony Proietti who has been typed. Previously typing was limited to those under 44 but now is available for anyone under 60. See
