bone marrow to save a life, said.
The NMDP is in need of more
volunteers, particularly nonCaucasions,
willing to donate bone
marrow. The organization also
needs monetary donations to help
meet the $50-$75 cost of testing
each potential donor.
An estimated 16,000 children
and adults are stricken each year
with leukemia, aplastic anemia and
other blood-related diseases.
For many, the only hope for survival
is a bone marrow transplant.
Without a transplant, the long-term
survival rate is 0 to 15 percent. .
With a transDlanL their chances in
crease to between 30 and 80
percent.
Of the thousands who could
benefit from a marrow transplant,
nearly 70 percent cannot find a
suitable match within their families.
These patients need to find
unrelated donors ? people willing
to come to the assistance of someone
they may never meet.
If you would like to help someone
with a blood disorder, become
a donor. All monetary donations
are tax deductible and can be made
