Bay Area Asian Bone Marrow Drive - News Article



I produced a news story about the need for Asian and Pacific Islander bone marrow/stem cell donors. The Alameda, CA based Asian American Donor Program is conducting year long donor drives throughout the Bay Area.

This story has a face to it, instead of a statistic, as one San Francisco native must undergo a bone marrow transplant next month. Diagnosed with leukemia in September, she hasn't found a match...yet.

The self help swab donation kits can be mailed to residences. It's a simple process including paper work processing.

For more information about the Asian American Donor Program, visit http://www.aadp.org/.
