Hello wrestling fans! As you all know, Roman Reigns has been dealing with leukemia for years and it has relapsed. I am the Executive Director of SAMAR, a center for the congresssionally authorized national blood stem cell/marrow registry, Be The Match.
We register volunteer, committed, life-saving donors who are given the opportunity to save the lives of patients suffering with leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell and other blood disorders. People like Roman who are multiracial have less than a 23% chance of finding an available donor on the national registry. Here are the odds of finding a match who will say "yes" based on race and ethnicity:
After creating an account and verifying your email, you will be asked to complete a consent form. It take 5 minutes.
Swabs will be mailed to you. It only takes 20 seconds to swab. You will only have the opportunity to save a life if you send the swabs back.
Please feel free to share the link or the text to join code.
Thank you and please donate if you come up as a match. You may be the only person in the world who can save that patient's life.
Best regards,
Dr. Ron Jacob
Executive Director
