Jennifer Jones Austin needs a bone marrow transplant

Jennifer, 41, is suffering from leukemia and without a bone marrow transplant her chances of survival are very little. Jennifer is most likely to find a donor within the African American community. There are 8 million people registered in the Be The Match Registry, but only 500,00 of them are African Americans or Black. Because tissue types are inherited, patients have a better chance of matching someone of their own race or ethnicity. You might be a match for Jennifer or many other patients in great need of a marrow transplant. Please, join the Be The Match Marrow Registry. A simple cheek swab is all that is needed to determine if you can save a life. To learn more, visit www.icla.org Your support will help the Icla da Silva Foundation save more lives.
