Bone Marrow Drive at Jericho High School
by Taylor Katz, JerEcho Staff
2/2/2010
JERICHO, NY -- A bone marrow drive in honor of Lindsay Rawot will be held on Saturday, Feb. 6, from 10am-4pm at Jericho High School. Jericho graduate of 2005 Amanda Zwilling organized the drive in hopes of finding a match for her best friend, Lindsay Rawot, who needs a stem cell donor.
Lindsay is among the seventy percent of people in need of a transplant that need to look in the national database for a potential match. She therefore faces a 1 in 100,000 chance of finding a suitable donor. The Zwillings hope that with Jericho’s help, the chances of Lindsay finding a match will increase.
Donors at the bone marrow drive will be required to offer a cheek swab that will be compared to the people in need of a matched donor transplant. Donors must also be between the ages of 18 and 55. If a match is found, the donor will go through the same procedure that one goes through when giving blood. A machine will process the blood, remove the stem cells, and the donor’s blood will be returned.
For more information e-mail Amanda Zwilling at TeamLindsayR@gmail.com or visit: www.teamlindsay.org.
