Bone Marrow drive to help a father of 2 little girls
This is Christopher, a 36 year old father of two daughters ages 2 and 5. Chris is currently dealing with his second bout of Non-Hodkins Lymphoma, and is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant to cure this potentially fatal disease. His best chance of finding a donor is within people of Italian heritage. However, Chris and his family are asking any and all compassionate individuals between the ages of 18 and 60 to take a moment and have a marrow typing test from a mouth swab to determine if they might be the missing piece for Chris’ cure. Registering and testing can be done at the drive. There will be a brief information session and donor drive to help recruit committed donors for the National Marrow Donor Program, to help Chris and many other patients like him.
If you are interested in becoming a bone marrow donor for Chris or anyone else, please come to the drive on September 9th. If you can’t help, please send this on to anyone that you think might be interested.
PLEASE BE THERE
Donor Drive – September 9th 2008 3pm – 8pm Sons of Italy, Per Sempre Lodge 2344 815A Sunrise Highway, Lynbrook
For more information, call Anna at: 516 – 887 – 7832
