Feb 6: Be The Match for Jennifer Jones Austin

Park Slope resident Jenifer Jones Austin is a 42-year-old wife and mother of two children ages 12 and 7 . She has been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Her chances of surviving the disease are slim unless she undergoes a bone marrow transplant.

That’s where you come in.

A bone marrow transplant requires a 100% compatability match. Unfortunately, Jenifer’s siblings were not a match. Her best chance of finding a match is to go to the National Bone Marrow Registry. Her greatest liklihood of success is with a donor of African American or Hispanic descent.

You can help.

On February 6 from 10 AM until 2 PM, you can add your bone marrow to the Registry. Maybe you’ll be a match for Jennifer:
