Get on board with a bone marrow donor drive
Last week, 15-year-old Alyce Pyne got a
big surprise. The blog she had started detailing her bucket list for
a few friends and family went viral. Her number one wish? To make
everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor.
You see, Alice has been diagnosed with
terminal cancer. This U.K. sweetie has been fighting the disease for
nearly four years and says she doesn’t think she’s gonna win this
war, but she’s still trying her hardest to make a different. Sure,
she wants to swim with sharks and have a private movie party with her
besties, but topping her bucket list is the desire to help others
battling cancer.
Thanks to the followers she’s gained
so far, donations have been pouring in to sponsor Alice’s sister in
a race benefiting cancer research. But you don’t even have to give
a dime to make Alice’s greatest wish come true. Thanks to the
support of DKMS Americas, you can get swabbed for free.
While bone marrow donors must be 18 and older (in addition to other
restrictions), that doesn’t mean tweens and younger teens can’t
get involved. Ask your parents and older family members to register
for a free do-it-yourself cheek swab kit. Host a bone marrow
donor block party or get together with a few buds and throw a bone
marrow donor drive at a local community center.
In the meantime, head over to
Alice’s blog and leave her a comment. She’s reading them all!
