Subj: Red Cross Needs Your Help
Date: 7/25/03 6:16:18 PM Eastern Daylight Time


A special Message From the Red Cross who received a phone call about an individual that has Hodgkin's Lymphoma and is in desperate need of a marrow transplant. He is critical right now so time is of the essence. A search of the registry has been conducted, and no match was found, but frequent registry searches will continue to be done. His race is Cherokee and European. Because he is of Cherokee descent, his chances of finding a match are very slim due to the under-representation of American Indians on the registry.


The Red Cross would like to put out a plea to the Cherokee communities, and other Native American communities, to sign up for the registry. If you would like to help, please contact the American Red Cross at: (918) 249-9988.
