Swab your cheek for Alan!
Alan is 49 years old and was diagnosed with Acute Myeloblastic leukemia. He is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant to survive. Since tissue type is inherited, Alan's best chance of finding a genetically matched donor lies with those of Jewish ancestry. However, there are many patients of all backgrounds in need of donors for transplants, so we encourage everyone to join the registry!
Eligible donors must be between the ages of 18-60 and in general good health.
Blood type doesn't matter.
Registration involves a simple swab of cells from the inside of the cheek.
Those previously tested do not need to be retested.
Gift of Life's mission is to increase the representation of Jewish people into the registry.
Sponsored by Hillel Gift of Life marrow donor campaign.
If you're unable to make it to Wharton during these hours but want to be tested, contact Dave Brodsky directly to make arrangements.
