You can save him today.
=============
10 minutes and a cheek swab could save someone's life.
Join the 35,000 people who safely donated their blood-forming cells to complete strangers, and changed their lives.
But how?
The lives of leukemia patients depend on Peripheral Blood Stem Cells donations.
These donations require a perfect tissue match between donor and patient.
Sadly, 1,000 people die each year for no reason because there is no match.
Because only 2% of the American population is typed in the national registry...
The solution, therefore, is frustratingly simple. Get more people typed.
10 minutes and a cheek swab is all it takes.
Come to White Plaza from 11-2pm this Tuesday and Wednesday.
You could save a life.
