Donor Comments I was just called last night as a possible match for a patient. Looking forward to the next stage and hopefully the additional testing will bring more good news for that patient. Praying for Giovanni and his health every day...God Bless You All... Dan Solomon Sandwich, MA "Don't give up, don't ever give up." - Jim Valvano
We learned that two new people added to the registry in the last few weeks are close matches to Conner! Keep up the good work! As always, we are praying for Giovanni!

Reggie Lewis Center Auditorium Monday, 12pm to 6pm, Save Giovanni's Friends Bone Marrow Drive at the Reggie Lewis Center, 1350 Tremont Street, Boston, MA. Give the gift of life this holiday season by coming and taking the free, painless cotton swab test to save a life. Only 30% of registered bone marrow donors are non-whites. This significantly decreases the chances of a non-white patient's survival. To state it more shockingly, a doctor said that a black child in who needs a bone marrow transplant has a death sentence becuase there are so few people of color in the International Bone Marrow Registry. Please help us change this sad statistic by joining the registry and saving a life |
