Howdy MAPS!
Thank you to all who volunteered for the bone marrow registry drive and/or signed up to be a bone marrow donor. MAPS has never hosted something like this before, so big shout out to our President, Sydney Quintana, for setting this up! DKMS is an international non-profit organization that is fighting against blood cancers. By increasing the number of donors in the registry, patients have a higher chance of matching with someone. Although the chance of actually matching with a patient is less than 1%, you would be saving a life on the off chance that you do match. To find out more and to sign up to become a donor, visit www.dkms.org/en. We will be hosting this week-long event again in the spring, so come out to volunteer with us! Until next time, Helen
