Over the next few weeks, the transplant coordinators in Hershey will begin the search for an unrelated bone marrow donor for Jeff. There's a reasonably okay chance that they will be able to find a match, but it is not a certainty by any means. In addition, there are lots of other people fighting for their lives who need donors.
In order to help Jeff and others, my neighbor and good friend Rhonda will be organizing a bone marrow donor drive in our area. In order to get the Registry staff to come here, we need 100 people to volunteer ahead of time. So you know what you're getting into (it's pretty simple and totally worth it), please click on this link. If you're still interested after reading about your commitment, please send Rhonda an e-mail at ronderh@hotmail.com. She and her committee will take care of things from there. Also let her know if you'd like to be on the committee....there's a little bit of fundraising that needs to be done so that we can help the marrow registry to cover the costs of the drive.
