By telling family and friends about the need and importance for Asians and minorities to register as potential marrow donors, you will help others understand why. Education is the key. Educating others about the steps of registering as potential marrow donors and explaining the two different processes of donating marrow or stem cells will alleviate the fears, misunderstandings and negative expectations that people have. This would result in more people joining the National Marrow Donor Program and giving more hope to patients.
