Bone Marrow Registry Event Date Changes Due to Weather Conditions

Bone Marrow Registry Event Date Changes Due to Weather Conditions

Trevor Joerling, a student, has been fighting Hodgkins Lympoma for the past two years. Unfortunately, he has not responded to standard chemotherapy drugs, and is currently in search of a donar for a bone marrow transplant.

 

On March, 25 in the commons area at Howell, the bone registry event “Be a Match” will be held, to help Joerling in his search to find a match. Anyone between the ages of 18 and 44 can join the “Be a Match” bone marrow registry. It takes around 15 minutes, and a cheek swab sample, to register.
