Elouise is a 1st grader recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL is a cancer of the bone marrow that occurs when the body produces too many white blood cells called lymphocytes. 

It is our hope that we can bring awareness to this issue and encourage others to be a part of the international donor database.  There are countless other patients who are battling ALL and other similar maladies (such as leukemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell) who count on gracious and generous donors working through marrow registries like Gift of Life to provide life-saving bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplants. 

You could be a perfect, lifesaving match!  Please join the registry and learn if you are a match for a patients in need.
