This is your chance to save
a life!!
Date: |
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 |
Place: |
Bush Room, 10-105 |
Time: |
1 pm - 4 pm |
How:
|
Complete a health history form and donate blood or get your cheek swabbed to be enrolled in the national registry. The whole process takes about 10-15 minutes. |
And then? |
If you are a match, you will be contacted by the National Marrow Donor Program for further testing, information, and permission. There is NO OBLIGATION to donate. |
A marrow or blood cell transplant is a potentially life-saving treatment for patients
with leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood diseases. A transplant replaces a patient's unhealthy blood cells
with healthy blood-forming cells from a volunteer donor.
