OneMatch
OneMatch Stem Cell and Marrow Network is responsible for finding and matching volunteer donors for patients who require stem cell transplants. Fewer than 30 per cent of patients who need stem cell transplants find a compatible donor within their own families. The rest rely on those who have volunteered to donate stem cells to anyone in need.

Jonathan Grossman is a friend and patient at PMH... A husband and father of two, Jonathan was recently diagnosed with a very rare bone marrow disorder called "Myelofibrosis" that destroys the body's ability to produce blood cells. This disease affects only 2 people per million per year, and if left untreated will rapidly mature into an incurable and deadly form of leukemia. Jonathan's only hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant. Please click the link above to view his website... I urge anyone who has not become a donor to please register... you could be the match Jonathan and his family are so desperately looking for.
