Team Go Bill

My classmate, Bill Sabatino is battling for his life. He has a rare form of leukemia that requires a stem cell transplant. A compatible donor needs to be found. If you or someone you know are between the ages of 18 and 44 then maybe you or they can help by joining the Be The Match registry.

 You are only asked to donate cells if you come up as a match to a patient.  The process is painless and easy:

There are two types of marrow donation, a peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation and a traditional marrow donation

 - 75% of the time, patients need a stem cell donation, which is similar to donating blood.  This is what Bill needs.

 - 25% of the time patients need marrow cells, which the doctor draws from the donor’s hipbone. You should not experience pain.
