Do you remember my friend that emailed me looking for a donor match for bone marrow, I have an update for you!!
There still has been no match. They are doing marrow testing drives everywhere they can. She need a 10/10 match in the marrow because of the rarity of the disease she has. I wanted to post this agin because in 2 weeks if there is still not a match they will start chemo again for her. She is trying desperately to avoid this because she has a baby at home.
here is the piece the local news station did for her. click HERE
The best part about this is that even if you aren’t a match for Summer, you may be a match for someone else. It doesn’t matter where you live they will transport the marrow to where it needs to go and for most it is donated just like you donate blood. The kit is free and if they find you match someone you will be the one to help to save a life or make one longer. There are many who are waiting for you so please if you can do this, do it now and help someone in need.
Here is the info again for you that was sent to me. There is a new code to use as the summer code has expired. to get the new code go tot he site and register and then it will appear. you will be sent the kit and be able to see if you match anyone. If you have a local blood bank around you then you can also go there.
“Be The Match!
One of my sister’s dearest friends has a rare bone disease called aplastic anemia. Summer Hackett Vitelli is currently looking for a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant. The website http://www.marrow.org is mailing free kits to those who would like to join with the promo code Summerhope. They come in about 4 days. It registers you for the National Bone Marrow registry. Since, the sassy saver is all about freebies I was hope you could post this on your site. The donor kit consists of 4 swabs that you rub on your inner cheek to give them cell samples. For Summer, she needs mainly blood (80%) and marrow (20%). She has about 3 weeks to find a match. So if you could urge people to join quickly in her case (and I’m sure many others) time is of the essence.”
