About Our Drive

What:  Worldwide On-line Bone Marrow Donor Drive - Registering 100 Donors in 100 Days!
When:  February 18, 2011 - May 28, 2011
Who:  Team Captains Jo Thompson Szymanski, Carol Morris & friends worldwide
Why:  70% of Bone Marrow Transplant patients look to an international registry to find a life-saving match. It could be you!

Ways to participate - each link will provide more details:
"100 days" is special for all bone marrow transplant patients as that is usually when treatment is complete and recovery begins.  Our kick-off on February 18, 2011 marked Jo's official 100th day post transplant.  Jo was lucky that her brother, Eddie was a perfect match and now her bone marrow is 100% healthy and disease free!  Most patients do not have a sibling or related match and must rely on the registry to find a donor.  Jo and Carol Morris (one of Jo's caregivers during transplant) dedicate this drive to their new friends - the other transplant patients they met at MD Anderson.  What an inspiration you all are! 

The home page blog will keep a running total of how many donors we register between February 18, 2011 and May 28, 2011.  Thank you for helping us reach our goal of 100 Donors in 100 Days!! 


Your team captains,
Jo Thompson Szymanski and Carol Morris
