Dear Member,

A call for more Filipinos to join marrow donor program. Despite more than 20 million people on the Be The Match® registry, only 5 percent are Asian and .4 percent are Filipino.

Hi there! I am sure most of you have heard that Freddie was recently diagnosed with leukemia. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and his doctors have recommended a blood stem cell transplant to cure him. Freddie has no living siblings and no one in our family was a perfect match, so they are searching the Be the Match Registry for an unrelated donor. Please click on the link http://join.bethematch.org/stemsforfjv or text STEMFORFJV to 61474 to see if you are a match for him or any patient. It takes less than 10 minutes and a simple cheek swab to see if you are a match. Donors must be between 18-44 years old, in general good health and be willing to donate to any patient. You could be the one! If you have any questions, please contact our coordinator, Joyce Valdez at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. 

Thank you. 

The Verzosa Family
