Cristie FairbanksCommunity Bone Marrow Drive Update

Thank you to everyone who came out yesterday to Bigham Knoll and got registered!  Between the in-person registrants at Bigham Knoll and others, we added approximately 40 new people to the registry – that’s 40 more chances for someone to find the life-saving match they need.  I would like to thank my volunteers (Carrie Robertson of Rogue Valley Electric, Jana Jensen of Cycle Analysis and Joy Tayler) for staffing the drive.  We are happy with the results and hope it will help many patients in need down the line.  Thank you to the Jacksonville Review for advertising and supporting the drive, to Bigham Knoll for allowing us to use their site and to KTVL Channel 10 for running the series of interviews on their morning news.  If you are interested in more information regarding the Be the Match Foundation and/or would like to register with them online to become a potential donor, please visit www.bethematch.org.
