We'll be setting up a table for a bone marrow drive on Thursday, March 1 at 8 p.m. at the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR). If you are between the ages of 18-60, please come and get your cheek swabbed! There is no cost to you.

Welcome!
Why are we setting up a website for Debbi?
Because 10,000 transplant patients need a match and only half receive one. Armenians and other ethnic minorities have an even harder time finding a donor, but it's not impossible.
We've had a number of bone marrow drives, including in Armenia, Lebanon, Watertown and RI and we'll be having more. If you haven't yet registered, please do so now! You can get a cheek swab kit mailed to your home at no cost to you.
Want more information about bone marrow transplants? See Be The Match or the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry.
