Join The Fight!
Many of you have asked how you can help Morgan by becoming a Bone Marrow Donor. We want everyone to know that the tremendous amount of caring, and support that you have all provided is truly humbling.
In these past few months we have learned a lot about Leukemia, and the need for many, many, many more individuals to register to become bone marrow donors. When you become a donor, your contribution can actually save someones life.
Here’s a quick snapshot from the National Marrow Donor Program’s website;
The Need for Donors
On any given day, more than 6,000 men, women and children are searching the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry for a life-saving donor like you. These patients have leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases that can be treated by a bone marrow or cord blood transplant. For many of these patients, a transplant may be the best and only hope of a cure.
We work to provide hope and deliver a cure to all patients in need. With your support, more patients can access the treatment they so desperately need.
