This month, 5MoF will be hosting a bone marrow drive with “Be the Match
Marrow Registry” (http://bethematch.org) to raise awareness and help save
lives. In addition, we’ll have a swabbing station on-site running before,
during, and after the event. If you know anyone affected by this condition,
want to help, or just want to learn more, please drop by and offer your
support.

One of our own members, David Molnar, is directly affected by this. His
sister has an aggressive form acute leukemia. She and many others like her
need a bone marrow transplant for a shot at survival, but have no family
members that match their marrow tissue type. By joining the registry, you
might just be the person to save the life of his sister or someone like her.
