Amid heightened awareness of unequal health outcomes for Black people in the U.S., a new film for the Gift of Life Marrow Registry featuring rapper and lyricist Terrell "Trizzy" Myles has launched to encourage others to join the fight against blood cancer and save lives. The short film, Blood is Thicker, features an original poem and music by Myles, who was inspired to bring a message of hope and a resounding call to action that reminds us how one selfless act can positively change the outcome of a life, a family and an entire community.

Together with agency The Lucy Collective and nonprofit organization Gift of Life Marrow Registry we created short film, ‘Blood is Thicker’ featuring rapper and lyricist Terrell "Trizzy" Myles. Directed by Mill Director Gundeep Anand, the piece encourages others to join the fight against blood cancer and save lives.

Rabbi Yossi Kastan, the head of a Jewish day school in suburban Baltimore, says he’s "always wanted to change the world." Last week, he did precisely that for an ailing 2-year-old girl. On Sept. 21, the day after Rosh Hashanah as well as the Fast of Gedaliah, Kastan donated his bone marrow to the girl, who is battling an immune systems disorder.

An eight-year-old boy with a rare blood disease can thank a news reporter in Colorado Springs for a life-saving donation. KKTV reporter Megan Hiler has donated bone marrow, even though they've never met.

A pandemic can stop the world, but it cannot stop cancer. The Esports Club at UCF partnered with the Gift of Life to raise funds for their Bone Marrow Registry last weekend. "Our big reason for choosing to participate was just wanting to help promote this amazing cause and spread awareness of how easy it is to join a bone marrow registry," said Jacob Powers, treasurer for Esports at UCF.
