A Call for Help...
The replacement of diseased bone marrow for leukemia patients can be a
lifesaving procedure. Each year, this disease affects nearly 27,000 adults
and more than 2,000 children in the United States. Tanya Wray; daughter
of longtime activist, Wes Brain from Southern Oregon University in
Ashland, is one of many who is in need of our help. To volunteer as a
bone marrow donor, please contact the marrow donor registry below.
