Take the First Step – Join the Marrow Registry The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) will participate in the 5th Annual Northwest Florida Boricuas Ausentes Latin Salsa Festival scheduled for Saturday, 23 June from 10am – 7pm at the Fort Walton Beach Landing. The event is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. At present, Hispanics represent only 10% of potential donors on the registry. Because tissue types are inherited, patients are most likely to match someone of their own race or ethnicity. People of every background are needed. Registry members from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds are especially needed, so every patient has a second chance at life. Representatives from NMDP will have informational material and will also have Be the Match Registry® kits for those individuals that are interested in being a part of the donor registry. When you join the Registry, you become part of every patient’s search for a donor. You have the power to heal, the power to save a life! For more info go to: www.bethematch.org. |
