Want to save someone’s life?   Let’s turn this negative Cancer journey into something positive. I was diagnosed with Leukemia in January.  This after battling Stage 3C breast cancer in 2019.  Leukemia is a much scarier beast however.  Because of a rare gene mutation, a stem cell transplant is my only hope of survival.  I do not have siblings to donate stem cells so Be The Match steps in to build a database from which my donor can hopefully be found.  Most folks don’t even know this organization or desperate need exists.  To get into the database, it’s a simple cotton swab and if you match with someone, it’s similar to giving blood. WHO KNEW???  I didn’t.  

For many who cannot give stem cells, please consider contributing money in my name.  The medical advances to help cure Leukemia is rapidly changing.  A few years ago, my rare gene mutation would have been a death sentence.  Not anymore!!!!  All funds raised will go directly to Be The Match.
