Be the Match! Additional February 21st Donor Drive in Columbus, OH

Columbus, OH friends -  wondering if you could “Be The Match” for Rebecca? Come get your cheek swabbed on February 21, 10AM-3PM at the Ohio State College of Nursing Lobby (1585 Neil Avenue 43210).

Rebecca is fighting a rare form of blood cancer called blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (#BPDCN) and she needs a bone marrow transplant. A bone marrow transplant requires finding a donor with similar genetic composition of the recipient.

All it takes to sign up to the national marrow donor registry is a short consent form and cheek swab, which determines donor/recipient matches. Those who sign up could be the cure for a patient like Rebecca who is fighting blood cancer.

Please share information about these drives on your Facebook page and through any other means you can. We cannot promote this drive and the upcoming drives in Louisville enough.
