Did you know that Blacks, along with other ethnic groups, are underrepresented in bone marrow registries worldwide? It’s up to people of African and African-Caribbean origin to join the pool of potential donors.
A simple mouth swab is all you need to get tested!
Stem cells can be donated after registering with the one of the Stem Cell and Marrow Networks by contacting:
Canada: 1-888-2-DONATE http://www.onematch.ca
United States: http://www.marrow.org
International: http://www.bmdw.org

Hector Walker has been diagnosed with leukemia and desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. Hector is a dear father, brother, husband, grandfather, nephew, son-in-law, uncle, cousin, friend and colleague. He is also a vibrant community member whose contributions include working with high risk youth.
You may be able to save Hector or someone else’s life by getting tested. In Canada, call the number and a mouth swab kit will be mailed out to you. It’s that easy!

Here at the BYRC (Broadway Youth Resource Center) we have the sad situation of having one of our youth workers who is a man of colour who has been stricken with Leukemia. This man is someone very precious in many ways; particularly at an At Risk Child and Youth Counsellor. He works above and beyond with the population we serve, he has been in the hospital waiting for a bone marrow transplant. I have included the information in detail. Please help us save this incredible man from the usual end that comes when there is no match for someone in his situation.
