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.
