Attention: New England-area readers
The Rich Cronin Hope Foundation for Leukemia, which continues to honor the memory of my dear, late friend Rich Cronin by helping other fight leukemia, is holding a bone marrow drive tomorrow (Wednesday, May 1st) from 10:30 AM-2:30 PM at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. I'm not too familiar with the geography of Rich's old stomping grounds in Massachusetts, but I do know that this is a great cause and that you can help save lives. If any of my readers are in the area, please think about stopping by the Massachusetts Maritime Academy tomorrow and joining the Be The Match registry.
If you're not in the New England-area or can't make it to the bone marrow drive at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay tomorrow, at least visit the Rich Cronin Hope Foundation's Facebook page, give it a "like", and tell them that Anthony Bergen sent you! Here is a little more information on tomorrow's event:
The first time I heard the words ‘bone marrow transplant,’ my father was going through the procedure during his battle with leukemia in the mid-1990s. My elementary school level of understanding was pretty simple: dad is really sick, and the new bone marrow will make him better.
From a first-person essay that Campbell University senior David Cassady wrote about how he came to recognize the importance of bone marrow transplants. Cassady is a member of Campbell's Teaching Fellows Program, which will host a bone marrow registry drive on Wednesday, March 20, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Taylor Hall 118. Read the full essay.
To increase the number of registrations, several Asian American organizations have worked together to raise awareness of the importance of signing up for the bone marrow registry.
Lambda Phi Epsilon (LPE) has been working with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) as part of their national philanthropy since 1995, the year when one of the fraternity brothers, Evan Chen, was diagnosed with leukemia.
The Theta Chapter at Stanford University organized a joint effort to help Chen find a bone marrow donor and, in a matter of days, over 2,000 people were typed. A match was eventually found for Evan, but unfortunately by that time, the disease had taken its toll on him and he passed away in 1996.
According to UW LPE brother Benny Tran, 136 people signed up for the bone marrow registry through their drive last year, with an average of 70 to over 100 registering at their drive annually.

NYU TEAM JANET: BONE MARROW DRIVE TO SAVE A LIFE
From the president of NYU's Asian Cultural Union, Ben Dumond:
Many of you may have heard about the story of Janet Liang, the UCLA graduate student who has one month left to find a bone marrow donor to fight her leukemia. If you haven't please check out her story or online at www.helpjanet.com and watch her online plea video (heart-wrenching, but it will help you understand why I am doing this).
In response to her story and her video, I decided to host a three-day bone marrow drive (kits provided by the South Asian Marrow Association of Recruiters, SAMAR) on our very own campus in the lobby of Kimmel (NYU), 60 Washington Square South, New York, NY 10012 (212-998-4900) taking place on the following days:
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29 2:15 pm - 5:15 pm
THURSDAY, MARCH 1 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FRIDAY, MARCH 2 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Registering to become a bone marrow donor is simple, requiring only a short survey and a painless oral swab test. Given that only 7% of all Asian Americans are registered donors, it has been extremely difficult to find a donor for Janet.
I hope to help save her life in a way that I couldn't save my own best friend from cancer two years ago, but I can't do it alone.
PLEASE help Janet Liang.
Feel free to reach out to Ben personally by emailing him at [email protected].
