the stem cell registry

www.marrow.org

A friend's father is treating his cancer with chemotherapy. But it's a rare form and he needs suitable stem cells. We're all hoping that his three siblings will provide a match. If they don't, he turns to the donor registry and they say the chances aren't good.

I didn't even know a stem cell registry existed. Getting on it is like giving blood, so the chance to save a life is certainly worth it. Look into joining.
