Welcome to my Page! It is my goal to raise funds for Gift of Life - a great organization that matches patients in need of bone marrow transplants with their life-saving donors!
Every year, Gift of Life holds a Gala to honor its donors, recipients and volunteers. As a Gift of Life 'Ambassador', I have set up a gala team page and I hope you will join me in my quest to raise funds for this great cause. Although I cannot attend the gala this year (there's a little thing called law school finals standing in my way) I still care about the cause and want to do everything I can to help. Which is why I am reaching out to you!
Gift of Life's registry currently lists over 150,000 donors. Unfortunately, many patients still cannot find a match. Your contribution will cover the cost of growing the registry by sponsoring additional cheek swabs that are used to test potential donors!
As many of you know, last April, I went through the bone marrow donation process and became a donor for a 21 year old boy with lymphoma. This process all started with one cheek swab, that I gave while still a student at Northwestern. Without others contributions that funded my testing, I would never have been able to give my bone marrow to help another. Now, I am hoping that I can raise some money to help others get swabbed so that more matches can be found.
