First Annual Pickens County Marrow Donor Drive
Help Save A Life....Make A Difference!
Gladys Murphy
The only hope for Easley residents Robin Burns Whittemore and Gladys Murphy to escape a premature death from Leukemia is to have a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, their family members are not a match and it is up to the kindness of the community to help save their lives. Even though there are millions of people registered to donate, nationwide, no perfect match has been found for either woman. WE NEED YOU! PLEASE, will you have one small vial of blood drawn and agree to be a committed member of the National Marrow Donor Program? YOU could be the only person in the world to match Robin, Gladys or some other person in the state, U.S.A. or even in another part of the WORLD. For questions you might have about details of becoming a donor you may call 1-800-Marrow-2, visit the National Marrow Donor Program's website www.marrow.org or e-mail the chairman of this drive, Julie Capaldi.
