The Harvard Cancer Society and the Asian American Brotherhood are working with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) to recruit more minorities for the National Marrow Donor Registry. Each year, more than 30,000 children and adults in the United States are diagnosed with life-threatening blood diseases like leukemia. For many of these patients, a marrow or stem cell transplant is the only chance for a cure.
