If you can't make the drive and still want to join, you can join on that site and have a cheek swab kit sent to you. You do the swab, send it back and then you'll get a card when you are set in the database.Go to Marrow.org, for a questionnaire where you can answer some health questions and see if you would be eligible to be a donor.

Newsday: Jake and Kenny Amato




This life-threatening disease has stopped Jake from doing the things he loves and is taking him away from his family and friends. This battle has been rough for Jake, but he stays strong and he himself says: 'I know I will get through it! But my family and I need your help. I desperately need a bone marrow transplant to save my life.
Please come to “My Bone Marrow Drive”, you could be the one!”
