VH1 recently aired episode 3 of Basketball Wives which is now in its fourth season. During this episode (17:08) Royce Reed sat down with Preserve Our Legacy co-founders Brett and Shana Melius and New York City councilwoman Inez Dickens. Shana discussed with Royce the reason behind POL’s mission to increase awareness of bone marrow and umbilical cord donation in the minority community. She asked her to host a fundraiser for POL and Royce cheerfully agreed.
When the show gets to the actual event (27:31) Royce is almost moved to tears when she says…
“Just to know that I can become registered and save a life means the world to me. What other feeling as a human is greater than that"
On the VH1 blog Royce recaps the episode where she dedicates a significant portion of her post to discuss the importance of this Preserve Our Legacy’s mission to increase awareness of bone marrow and umbilical cord donation in the minority community. She says
“I became a part of this organization because I have a four year old, and after hearing about Jaden whom the organization pushed for Jaden’s Law and the Jaden Hilton Initiative I was brought to tears.”
“…..it literally takes about 5-10 minutes out of your life to become register to SAVE A LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE. What else could be more rewarding!”
