Be The Match for Miles and Others Like him WEAR TV ABC 3 Hosts Bone Marrow Registry Drive
Every year, more than 12,000 patients like Miles in the U.S. are diagnosed with life-threatening blood cancer diseases for which a bone marrow transplant may be their best or only hope of a cure. About 70 percent of patients in need of a transplant do not have a matching donor in their family and the cure depends on unrelated individuals who join the Be The Match Registry.
Patients are most likely to match someone who shares their ethnic background. There are not enough young members of diverse racial and ethnic heritage to help all patients in need of a marrow transplant.
Miles Wright
Joining the donor registry is easy. No finger pricks or blood samples, just a simple easy, quick cheek swab. Eligibility requirements are: be between the ages of 18-44, be willing to donate to any patient in need and meet the health guidelines. There is no fee to join the registry.
On Monday April 15 at Pensacola State College located at 1000 College Boulevard, there will be a third bone marrow registry drive and also a blood drive with Northwest Florida Blood Services from 10am-3pm.
