BONE MARROW DRIVE

My friend Wincheng from my college days was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years ago. She went through a period where she was in remission and has recently relapsed. Wincheng is in need of a bone marrow transplant.

Wincheng's friends who love her very much have organized a bone marrow drive for her. We encourage you to attend or volunteer. Below details are listed:


Saturday, February 21st from 10 am to 3 pm at the Charles B. Wang Community Center in Chinatown (Canal St. Location)

You can learn more information about the National Bone Marrow Registry and what you can do to help out Wincheng and many others. You'll be able to join the Registry on site as well! Please feel free to invite friends, family, co-workers!! EVERYONE will be able to register for FREE!!!

If you are interested in helping out during the drive, please contact Bertha at: bertha.cheng[@]gmail.com. We do need help with publicizing the drive, manning the tables, and fluent translators. Please email any other questions to: all4wincheng[@]gmail.com.

If you are interested in joining the Registry, but are unable to come, you can sign up for a free home-kit at http://www.aadp.org/pages/register.php or http://www.dkmsamericas.org/category/marrow-donors/become-donor.

If you are interested in hosting a bone marrow registry drive at your workplace, school, etc. Please contact all4wincheng@gmail.com for more information. We would be more than willing to help!

Thank you for your support!!!!!
