An Opportunity for You to be a Hero

I received this alert from a friend. Long story short - a young man named Lee in the Phoenix area was diagnosed in July with Leukemia - just the type that I have (ALL). Unfortunately for Lee and his family, he is in need of a bone marrow transplant and his family members have not come up as matches for a transfusion.

If you will be in the Phoenix area Friday November 13th they will be sponsoring a drive at Allstate's Regional Office from 11:00a-5:00p
5343 N. 16th St.
Phoenix, AZ 85016 (first floor in the Maddison Room)

To participate in the Online drive (for anyone not in the Phoenix area) please follow the instructions below:
1. Visit www.bethematch.org BEFORE NOVEMBER 30th
2. Click on "Join the Registry" --> Join Now
3. Fill out the required information
4. Enter promo code: Lee
5. Fill out the consent form online
6. Please only make a monetary contribution if you feel inclined, this is not required
6. A swab kit will be mail to your house. Swab and send the kit back ASAP

If you can participate, PLEASE DO - you can help save this young man's life!
