We're setting a world record for the biggest swag surf ever.
We want to raise awareness for blood cancer/bone marrow donations. Unlike other forms of cancer, blood cancer has higher treatment rates if you can find a bone marrow donor. But you have to match with someone of similar ethnic background.
Historically, communities of color are underrepresented in the bone marrow donation registry. This makes it really, really hard for people of color to find matches. This also makes treatable blood cancers like Leukemia and Lymphoma, and other blood diseases like Sickle Cell fatal. But if you find a match, the outcomes are much better. The challenge is a science problem, but it’s also a community awareness problem, which is why you can help make a difference; we need you.
