It’s Personal

“Our family has been touched by blood cancer, and we’ve learned firsthand the importance of a matching donor. I’m asking my friends and fellow community leaders to join me in a simple but potentially life-changing act: helping more people of Asian heritage join the bone marrow donor registry. We may never know whose life we help, but we can give another family hope when they need it most.”
