Mark you calendars! Next month, the women of Silicon Valley Moms Blog are hosting a bone marrow donor drive.
We are all super busy but this really shouldn't take that long. No needles, just a quick swab of your cheek. This is even more important for folks of color, as finding a bone marrow donor is close to impossible. Think now about if your are of mixed heritage - you got it, the chances are even slimmer. If you can't go to this event, make an appointment or stop by a booth next time you see a drive happening near you. Jill, one of th co-founders of SV Moms Blog has written her story and that of her mother's battle with Leukemia. She is one of the lucky ones, who will be receiving a transplant soon. There are many more waiting for someone like you.
You can help give the gift of life....
