Pat's original goal was to add 2007 new donors to the National Marrow Registry in 2007, but with your help he has exceeded his goal and added over 10,000 new donors to the National Marrow Registry!
Pat's new goal is to help simply save as many lives as possible. You can help him do just that by donating today!
Intro To Pat
Hi, My name is Pat! I am 12 years old and I have Leukemia. Can you please help me save the lives of people around the world who need a bone marrow transplant?
Recently, someone I knew died from Leukemia after they were unable to find a matching bone marrow donor. I found out that there is a critical need for people to be added to the National Marrow Registry, especially minorities! I don't want anyone else to die because they can't find a match! That day I decided to do something to help save lives and the idea of ONE CHILD'S DREAM / DRIVING FOR DONORS was born.
On April 17, 2007, I began DRIVING FOR DONORS! My family and I drove across the country in a special "Donormobile" . We hosted marrow donor drives in 32 cities and added potential donors to the National Marrow Donor Program Registry. We added over 6000 new donors to the National Marrow Registry in 2007!
If one child like me can make such a difference, you can too! Contact us to see how you can plan a drive, educate others or get involved by starting a fundraising event at your school or business!
Even though we reached our goal for the DRIVING FOR DONORS 2007 national marrow drive, we still need a lot of help and resources from individuals and businesses who want to help us save lives in the future. Please contact us at info@drivingfordonors.com to see how you can help us today!
