Register to Save a Life!
Another great opportunity has arisen to get yourself and all your friends and relatives registered in the National Marrow Donor Program. Next Sunday, October 12th, Catalyst Christian Community Church will be having a bone marrow drive following the 10 am service:
Catalyst Christian Community Church
held at:
Stanford Middle School
5871 Los Arcos St.
Long Beach, CA 90815
A3M will again be registering potential donors. It's so easy to become somebody's life-saving hero!! You just need to be between the ages of 18 and 60 and in good general health. There is some paperwork and all it requires is a swab of your cheek!!! What could be easier and what could be more important?
My dear friend, Krissy Kobata, is in search of a bone marrow donor. She has Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), which is what I also had. She is only 26 years old and needs to have someone save her life. As you know, ethnicity is a key factor in finding a bone marrow "match." Krissy is of mixed heritage - Japanese and Caucasian - also known as Hapa, which has made it more difficult for her to find a donor match.
Please register on Sunday, October 12th and please have all your friends and family come along, too. You are more than welcome to attend Pastor Barry Deguchi's 10am service, but if you can't get there , we'll be there following the service from 11:15 to about 12:30.
Thank you so much for passing the word! You may be the one person who can save a precious life!!!
love you all,
Nancy
