BOMBTWINZ has teamed up with Project Khanh, Project Michelle, and AADP.ORG to better inform people about bone marrow transplants.

Khanh [6 mos to live] and Michelle [less than a month to live] are in desperate need of finding matching donors.

Having same ethnic background donors will better their chances of finding a match. Khanh is full Vietnamese and Michelle is Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai.

"Why do you have to be an ethnic minority [in this situation]? Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are 'markers' on the white blood cells. These antigens are inherited characteristics, just as is the color of one's eyes and hair or skin. In a tissue transplant, the closer the match in HLA type between the donor and the recipient, the greater the chance that the transplant will be successful. Due to these genetic factors, patients have the best chance of finding a donor who is the same racial background."

Please spread the word by reposting this video. Your help is greatly needed as well as appreciated.

Register as a potential donor today at marrow.org or check out the drives in your city.
