Cause: Register As A Marrow Donor
About The Cause: The website at www.TeamJerome.org was founded by Jerome Williams who is in need of a marrow donor match. His goal is to find a match for himself and the countless number of others who are also in need of a donor match.
Their mission at www.TeamJerome.org is to improve the odds for those in need of a marrow transplant to find a donor by raising awareness on a national level for African Americans, Asians, Native Americans, Latinos, Multiracial Americans, and others to register as marrow donors. To date, with the support of people like you, and City of Hope National Cancer Institute, they have registered nearly 1,000 potential marrow donors! Thousands of people with diverse ethnic backgrounds are diagnosed each year with diseases such as leukemia that require a marrow transplant as the only known cure. In most cases, patients have to turn to the national marrow donor registry to find an unrelated marrow donor match. The national marrow donor registry has about 6 million registered donors. The odds of finding a marrow donor match within the registry is as follows: Caucasians 70%; African Americans 10%; Asians 9%; Latinos 9%; and Multiracial Americans or Others are 2%. Theres no good reason why all of the numbers cant be 100%! Please visit the website for more information on how you can register to become a marrow donor at www.TeamJerome.org.
