Hello neighbors of The Landings on Skidaway Island, Savannah, GA.

Please join me in an on-line bone marrow donor registry program. Follow the instructions at the end to sign up for the program.

Joining the registry is painless---you merely have to fill out the application ( for the purposes of screening if you are an appropriate candidate) and you will be mailed a swab for your inside cheek.

There are many individuals with blood cancers who are waiting for a match, in order to receive a bone marrow transplant. For many of these people, a bone marrow transplant is their last chance to beat a deadly disease. Please consider joining the registry.
