[GT Navs] Fwd: Bone Marrow Search

Begin forwarded message:

Subject: Bone Marrow Search

Date: April 8, 2015 at 7:41:07 PM EDT

To: Chad Wesley Spalinger <chad.spalinger@gatech.edu>

From: "Norris, Samuel A" <samuel.norris@gatech.edu>

Chad,

I just got the following message on Theta Xi's email list. I was wondering if you could forward this to the Navigators list. If anyone thinks they know of a match or would like to be tested Saturday or another time, please let me know. I have removed the names from the message.

"A friend of one of our alumni has been diagnosed with metastatic hepatosplenic non-hodgkins lymphoma. It's a rare cancer and he only has months to live unless they can find a match for a bone marrow transplant. He is only 44 years old and has 2 kids. It's a tragic situation. There will be an event this Saturday with a silent auction, live music and free beer and wine for those of age. We will be swabbing attendees to try to find a match. I realize it's short notice. I really need your help reaching out to a small community.
The man's ancestry is from Haiti and Ghana. Finding a match will be difficult. If we know anyone of that descent please put me in contact  with them. If anyone is in contact with churches that have high memberships of those ethnicities please give them my contact information. Please reach out to the African American Greek community at Tech on my behalf."

Finding a donor match can be difficult. Please let me know if you can be of assistance.

Thanks,

Sam Norris
