Urgent bone marrow drive of severely ill Irish American girl

Condition means weekly blood transfusions - her only hope for a cure is a bone marrow transplant

Nora is currently undergoing drug therapy but she is not responding to the treatment.  The family is now doing a cross-country “swabapalooza” to get as many healthy 18-44 year-olds to get their cheeks swabbed and added to the National Bone Marrow Registry and hopefully find a match for Nora.

To find the nearest drive or to get a swab kit mailed to your home, go to www.bethematch.org/join and enter the promo code: NG2012. Donations can be made to the "Friends of Nora Getchell" Foundation P.O. Box 212, Mastic Beach New York, 11951.
