Hello Friends,
I get asked alot from friends like you "How can I help?" Well the answer is to become a Registered Bone Marrow Donor.
The Marrow Donation Program is running a special the next few weeks. The usual charge of $52 to join the registry will be waived due to the Thanks Mom campaign running May 5-19th.
Donors must be between the ages of 18-60.
Look to the left and you will see a link.
It is easy to become a donor and in 90% of all Bone Marrow Transplants the donor just has to give a pint of blood. So, if you have donated blood to the red cross it is basically the same thing!
We will keep posting Bone Marrow drives in the Detroit area for people to go to. Below are three that are friend Karen Welch has found:
LOCATIONS & DATES:
