BONE MARROW AND UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD DONOR REGISTRATION DAY IN NEW YORK STATE



A year ago on May 3rd Preserve Our Legacy, INC along with hundreds of donors, patients, and supporters met in New York states capital Albany to raise awareness about the lack of sufficient bone marrow and umbilical cord blood donors within ethnic communities in New York State. They met with their local legislators in support of Assemblyman Wright's bill A.4294 or Jaden's Law, which would add bone marrow and umbilical cord blood to the New York State Donor Registry and allow New Yorker's to indicate their choice to donate on their drivers licenses akin to other organ donations. The Jaden’s Law bill has yet to be voted on.
