BONE MARROW DRIVE
We are doing a bone marrow drive on September 16th.
This
drive is also to find a match for one of our own community members, Dr.
Ravi Luckoor, husband of Shobha, father of Arun and Pavan who reside in
Bow, NH. Ravi is diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (Blood
Cancer). Ravi needs a bone marrow transplant. Ravi is from Bangalore,
India and South Asians make up 20% of the world's population -- that's
1.5 billion people -- but there are only less than 200,000 in the U.S.
bone marrow registry! We have the power to change this from a small act
of kindness from each one of us.
Details of the drive at Chinmaya Mission Boston:
Date: Sunday, September 16, 2012
Time: 9:30 am - 1:30 pm
Location: Community Hall in the Mandir level of Chinmaya Mission Boston.
