We spent some time this morning participating in a cause and effort very dear to our hearts. I’ve blogged several times about Be the Match, an organization transplanting hope into the lives of individuals and families in need a bone marrow transplants.
My husband oversees Web and Technology Services at Virginia State. The Drive was scheduled at the University to benefit a local 12 year old boy diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia in need of a transplant. Without hesitation, we both knew we had to actively participate. It all starts at the top….VSU President Miller arrived to help kick-off the drive and show his support of this campus and community partnership. The Petersburg Chapter of Links Incorporated was on site to volunteer and help facilitate the process, along with the Be the Match Team and
representatives from a local Sickle Cell Anemia Organization.
I’m believing that the VSU community will continue to show up and respond to this event today. Finding a match in my own household saved my daughter’s life and I want to help those in the same situation have more donors available. Please visit http://marrow.org/Home.aspx and join the registry or see how you can become involved with this organization and potentially change the life of this little boy or someone else in need of a bone marrow transplant.
