Please Consider Joining the Marrow Registry

Below is an email we just received:

"I thought you'd appreciate this...My husband and I joined Be The Match after hearing Eric McLean's story over a year ago.  Last Friday, my husband received notification that he is a potential match.  More testing will be needed, but I thought you'd appreciate knowing that Eric's great work while on this earth impacted many people who never had a chance to meet him."



For years Eric pushed so hard to get as many people as possible to join the marrow registry, and to know those efforts might help save a life...we are speechless.  This is amazing news.  If you are not on the list already, please consider it by clicking on the Be The Match logo above.

Thanks for reading!
