Lisa is a young mother living in the West Village recently diagnosed with a deadly form of leukemia (AML) that must be cured with a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. DONOR DRIVES ARE LISTED BELOW. Testing is simple, painless and fast. It’s only a registration form and a cheek swab. Lisa’s doctors need to do a bone marrow transplant in the next 4-6 weeks.
Unfortunately, there is currently no perfect genetic match in the banks but doctors say that her Ashnekazi background should make it easy to find a match if we can get enough Jews tested. Not enough Jews are in the bank to save her life as well as others in need. You can help – get tested If you are between the ages of 18 & 55 and of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) descent, get tested to find out if you may be a donor match! Testing involves a mouth swab for saliva on the inner wall of your cheek and only takes a few minutes.
