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.
