Jaden's Law

Happy New Year...2010. In the next few weeks you will begin to hear more about Jaden's Law. I suggest you find out everything you can about it. Everyday we get a little older and we never know what we will need one day. Jaden's Law will provide you some assurance that if you do get sick you will have an option. Jaden Hilton was 3-years old when he lost his battle to leukemia due to the fact that he could not find an unrelated match. Jaden was an African-American, which means that only 8% of the National Registry was available to him. No one was a match and he is no longer here. But his memory lives on to encourage us to establish this bill in states across the country. This bill will encourage one of our programs to be implemented in hospitals located in heavily minority populated areas. Doctors and hospitals will notify patients via a consent form. Stay TUNED...
