MAY 3rd IS BONE MARROW AND UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD DONOR REGISTRATION DAY IN NEW YORK STATE


Two years ago on May 3rd Preserve Our Legacy, INC along with 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 New York State bill now called A06582/S2215 also known as "Jaden's Law", which has the potential to add hundreds of thousands of donors to the registry without costing taxpayers money. One this day May 3rd was declared Bone Marrow and Umbilical Cord Blood Registration Day in New York State.

The Jaden’s Law bill has yet to be voted on but you can show your support today by signing the online petition HERE
