Spread the Word: East Coast Bone Marrow Donation Drives for Bonnie Tonneson

Bonnie is looking for friends and family to attend East Coast donation drives to help her find a match for a bone marrow transplant required to cure her leukemia. The following East Coast "Gift of Life" drives are coming up shortly, and are focused on registering donors of Eastern European Jewish ethnicity:

- Boston (Wayland); Sunday June 12: 10a.m.-1p.m.
- New York (Old Westbury); Sunday June 12: 9a.m.-2p.m.

Click here for more information about either of these events. If you can't make these events, however, you can also:

- click here for a do-it-at-home kit through "Gift of Life," or
- learn how to join the National Bone Marrow Registry.

Last, if you're nervous about the screening or donation process, check out this link, demystifying screening & donation, or click here for Mike Berman's first-hand account of last weekend's bone marrow drive in San Francisco. (Mike was one of 232 donors.)

PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG TO EAST COAST FRIENDS & FAMILY BY CLICKING ON THE EMAIL ENVELOPE BELOW & ADDING YOUR OWN MESSAGE. THANKS!
