Every year, hundreds of Canadians are looking for a stem cell match in order to survive their devastating disease.
The best chance of a match is from within one’s own ethnic group. Healthy people from 17 to 50 years old can register, and the ideal registrants are young adults from ethnic minorities.
A simple cheek swab and fifteen minutes of your time is all it takes to register you with OneMatch (Canada’s unrelated stem cell bone marrow donor network) as apotential donor to help save someone’s life!
WHY:
Moms gave us life - let's give life to others through either blood donation or potential stem cell donation. Do it in honour of her.
WHO:
Any healthy person between 17-50 who is willing to be a potential stem cell donor and to donate stem cells to any patient anywhere if and when asked. Although greatest need is for young people less than 30 years old, even up to age 50 is great!
WHEN:
Saturday, May 7, 2011 (the day before Mother’s Day) 10am-6pm
HOW:
Come register in person and be swabbed at the same time
(bring photo ID and Care Card).
