Today Jerry and I signed up to become bone marrow donors, hopefully for a little girl named Milly. Milly is in need for a donor as none of her family members are matches. We signed up and had our cheeks swabbed for DNA samples. This was done through a drive with Be The Match. Be The Match Registry is operated by the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP).
Be The Match web site states, "Each year, 10,000 patients need a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor, but only half receive one." We can all make a difference. If you are interested in becoming a bone marrow donor please check out the following website for more information: bethematch.org
Introducing Raylee and Jorja.....sisters! Raylee is our cancer baby and Jorja is her sister's keeper.
