In a few weeks, I am donating my bone marrow to an anonymous person. It has already been one of the most gratifying experiences of my life, and I& #39;m nervous but mainly excited to proceed. I got my final clearance yesterday - we& #39;re go for launch.

Likelihood of finding a matched adult on the registry for different ethnic groups (%):

White - 77
Hispanic or Latino - 46
Asian or Pacific Islander - 41
Black - 23

We need to increase the ethnic background of the donor registry.

If you can help amplify this within your spaces, I would very much appreciate it. This has given me hope and light during a very depressing year, and I& #39;m positive we can save other lives together.

@brianstelter would you mind amplifying this?

I am trying to sign up 500 new people on the @bethematch bone marrow registry before I donate.
