Event details: Marrow Donor Registry Drive - CAL STATE LONG BEACH
Description
...[HELP SPREAD THE WORD]... Every day 6,000 patients search the national registry for an unrelated donor. These are patients who do not have a normal blood and/or immune system, including Leukemia, Lymphoma, Aplastic Anemia, Multiple Myeloma, and many other acquired and congenital blood disorders. Patients need a marrow or adult stem-cell transplantation to save their lives. ...[ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO GET SWABBED]... Joining the national registry is simple. All it takes is a consent form and a quick and painless swab of the cheeks. This determines your compatibility with a patient. This "match" process must be determined prior to donation. ...[BE THE ONE TO SAVE A LIFE. BE THE MATCH]... As a volunteer at a marrow registry drive, you will help with any or all of the following: (1) Convey to passersby the need for more donors (2) Help with the forms and the swabs (3) Talk to people about the two ways of donating--traditional or PBSC. For more information, please visit www.AsianMarrow.org or email Glenn at gsanagustin@ltsc.org.
