Exciting news from Be The Match: Be The Match Registry found Will a donor and he received his unrelated transplant last week at the Mayo Clinic. Will was very fortunate because finding a perfect matching marrow donor is not always easy (or even possible). There simply aren’t enough Korean donors registered. … Only 2 out of 10 of those suffering from diseases like leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases ever get the treatment that could save their lives. Many more patients need help. Order your Be The Match membership kits today at http://join.marrow.org/lifesaver01 and help others like Will. Thanks for all your support and efforts to save lives.
Will Dickes needs your help. The 13-year-old Korean adoptee from Rochester, Minnesota, is battling t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. Typically, a sibling of a leukemia patient has the best chance of being a match, but Will has no known birth family. Will and his parents are now reaching out to the Korean American community.
Take the first step to becoming a bone marrow donor by joining the Be the Match registry. You could save a life.
