Marrow donor drives in San Francisco and Boston
Zoot sez, "Following up on your post about Emru Townsend, I thought you might want to highlight two upcoming bone marrow donor drives. Erica Murray, a classmate of mine, was forced to leave grad school and return to SF when her leukemia came out of remission late last year. Her family and friends have organized a drive at the San Francisco Hall of Justice on April 4th, and her classmates have organized a drive at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy on the Tufts University campus near Boston on April 2nd. Obviously, we're hoping to find Erica a donor, but the drives are intended to get as many people on to the general registry as possible." More info, Fundraising (Thanks, Zoot!)
