My brother Emru needed an unrelated bone marrow donor and in September 2008, he had a bone marrow transplant. People of African descent - including African Caribbean people - are difficult to type, and there also shortages of potential donors on the registry.
Emru, my friends and family are trying to educate people about the issue and debunk myths surrounding it.
Whatever you want to call it: Grassroots. DIY. Guerilla marketing. Word of mouth. I'm doing whatever we can to let people know this issue is bigger than a single person, and the only way to begin solving it is to simply tell people the truth about a subject they might not understand or know about.
Ask your questions about bone marrow registration and donation.
