At the Nov. 3 meeting Kimberly Duncan talked about the “Delete Blood Cancer” program for which she is  the Southeast U.S. Recruiter and Trainer. Assisting her was Crystal Davaro.   They informed the group that blood cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths and kills more children than any other disease in the U.S.  When chemotherapy can’t beat the cancer, a bone marrow transplant may be a patient’s best hope for survival.  The need is great because only half of those in need are able to get a transplant and certain ethnic groups have more trouble finding a donor than others. They described the bone marrow donation process and outlined the requirements for donors (between the ages of 18-55, in good health).  They emphasized that the process was simpler and less painful than perceived.  Businesses were encouraged to consider a Delete Blood Cancer campaign as a visable way to serve the public.
