We were lucky enough today to be a part of a nationwide drive to encourage people to become bone marrow donors. This is inspired by a 13 year old boy from USA - Patrick who has leukemia and is running himself silly getting people to become donors of bone marrow - too many of his friends have died while waiting and this story is a part of his crusade. Thank you Patrick for your unwavering devotion to this cause.
NBN local news did this story ...
Harrison's Story for Bone Marrow Donors on NBN
I am having trouble uploading the video but the vid is on this link to NBN website.
Consider getting a group together and go to the local blood bank. For what is a simple blood test - you just never know if you may match a child in need of a transplant and truly a transplant will give someone a chance to live- too many kids with cancer, SCID, leukemia and other rare blood disorders die every day without a life saving bone marrow transplant. It costs you nothing but means that when you look back on your life you can say you truly helped to save a life. Consider and go today - get a group - the more donors available the more lives can be saved. Many offered to become registered as a donor when Harrison became sick, he still may need an unrelated donor - get registered today and even if Harrison doesn't need any further help there are hundreds of children the world over who do. Its a very simple choice for a life saving gift.
