Bone Marrow and Umbilical Cord Blood Registration Day in New York State



Three years ago Preserve Our Legacy, INC along with hundreds of donors, patients, and supporters met in the New York state capital of 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 "Jaden's Law", which would add bone marrow and umbilical cord blood to the New York State Donor Registry. The Jaden’s Law bill has yet to be voted on but May 1st every year is officially Bone Marrow and Umbilical Cord Blood Registration Day in New York State .
