Bone Marrow Drive for Anne Schumaker

A simple cheek swab could save this mother's life.  Fox Point Resident, Anne Schumaker is fighting a rare form of Accute Leukemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant.  You could be the one to make a difference.  Please take a few minutes out of your day on Saturday, May 14th, 10 AM - 3 PM, at St. Eugene Catholic Church, to join the bone marrow registry.  The process consists of filling out a registration form, including a brief health history, followed by a simple cheek swab.  There is no charge, and no need to make an appointment. You could potentially be the life-saving match for someone waiting for a transplant.  Your generosity could save a life, like Anne's.  Participants must be 18 - 60 years of age. This drive is being held in association with the Blood Bank of Wisconsin and the National Bone Marrow Registry.  Be the Match!  Make a difference!
