Williams College will be hosting a Bone Marrow Registry Drive on Thursday, April 9th from 11am-2:30pm and Saturday, April 11th from 7-9am at the Paresky Center on the Williams College campus.
This drive is in memory of Katharine C. Eckman, a senior at Hamilton College who passed away in October from leukemia. The goal of the drive is to recruit as many new bone marrow donors as possible from Williams and the surrounding community. Increasing the number of donors gives hope to blood cancer patients around the world in need of a peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
Registering is quick and easy, and requires filling out a registration form and swabbing cells from the inside of your cheek. Registrants must be 18-55 and in general good health. Every sample costs $65 to test, so voluntary donations are accepted and encouraged. Consider taking advantage of this amazing opportunity to give someone a second chance at life. For more information, contact Susannah Eckman (Williams '11) at ste1@williams.edu or check out www.dkmsamericas.org.
