So sad! This is before I was born, and in the early 70's. My father's boss at the time was the one to provide the bone marrow. Such a terrible disease and I hope they find a cure for Nina. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/save-nina-register-to-be-a-bone-marrow-donor#post-892396 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 04:12:07 +0000 T-Mom 892396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently learned about a young mother who is desperately seeking a bone marrow transplant for her rare form of leukemia. She has only five more weeks. She has a two year old boy :-( . As an Asian she has only a small chance of finding a bone marrow match since there are a limited number of people registered and typed who could be likely candidates for her. I registered and sent my swabs in today - please consider doing so as well if you haven't already! You could save her or someone else's life!</p> <p><a href="http://www.savenina.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.savenina.com/</a> </p>
