Bone Marrow Drives at Hong Kong IV

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

When: Saturday, June 14, 2008 & Sunday, June 15, 2008

Time: 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. (Both days)

Where: Hong Kong City Mall 4 (11201 Bellaire Blvd, Houston, TX)

Contact Officer: Loc Tran

As of today, we have registered over 2700 people into the National Marrow Registry, and we could not have done it without all the LAH volunteers who came out and put so much heart into it. However, since June 21st is the best date for Michelle to get a transplant, this weekend, 6/14-15, will be the LAST MAJOR bone marrow drive for her. We still need as many people as we can this weekend, let’s make it the BIGGEST one yet! And while we have high hopes that one of these donors will be a match for Michelle, it is a fact that at least one of these donors will be a match for other leukemia patients. So, if you have not volunteered, now is the time to do it; if you have never made sacrifices for anybody else in your life, now is the time to do it; if you have never saved someone’s life, now you can.
