This year, I'll be running to support Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation. This is the first time I will be running in order to benefit an organization.  As many of you know,  Dad died from cancer 2 years ago and this is a meaningful way to honor his memory.  If I can increase the chances that others might find donor matches, my efforts will have been well worthwhile.   

Gift of Life is a leading bone marrow and blood stem cell registry that finds matching donors for patients suffering from leukemia, lymphoma, other cancers and genetic disorders.

Every year thousands of patients are diagnosed with illnesses that require stem cell or marrow transplants. Only about a third of the population has an HLA-matching sibling donor available for transplant. The rest must rely on a stranger to save their life. That's why Gift of Life needs your help to continue its lifesaving work.

All funds raised will go towards testing new donors. As a sponsor you will be informed by e-mail of all the matches and transplants that result from our team effort. This could be in six months’ time or ten years’ time.

On an ongoing, long-term basis, you will know the precise impact of your support.
