People with Korean-y blood, listen up

Posted Aug 26 2008 4:31pm
Sorry peeps, the kimchi recipe will have to wait. If you are partly or wholly Korean, you might want to check this out:



Sam is 21 years old. He was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia

over the winter break; a good match for a bone marrow donor could

greatly increase his chances for survival. He is a hard bone marrow

match because he is biracial (Korean/western European). Potential

donors (18-60 years old) with similar Asian and/or European

backgrounds are his best chance.



There are currently only 10 potential matches for Sam in the bone

marrow database throughout the world -- and they may or may not

ultimately match or be available.



More info on how to register as a bone marrow donor andif you specifically want to be test to help Sam Cross: www.helpsamiam.com .



There is also national Asian American donor registry , btw, and the test doesn't hurt a bit.
