HOPE FOR JORDYN

"Can I find out if I am a bone marrow match for Jordyn?"

As you may know Jordyn will need another bone marrow transplant, and the search is on to find her a perfect match for the best possible outcome. Many people love Jordyn and her family and want to know if they can find out if they are that perfect match. However, it is not possible for friends and aquaintances to find out if they *only match Jordyn*. There is however an organization called the "Be the Match Registry". If you join this registry your results will be in a national database and you will be considered for any person that needs a bone marrow transplant. This registry is what is being searched for Jordyn's match.

Some people say they want to find out if they are a match for Jordyn, and would complete the process only for her. If that is the case, you should reconsider joining the registry and understand the commitment entirely. There are thousands of people that need bone marrow transplants who are in just as dire circumstances as Jordyn. Although you are touched by her because you know her story, you would be equally as touched by countless other individuals who are in need if you knew their stories. No one can predict who will be in need from the Be a Match Registy in the future. If you are between the ages of 18 and 61 you should consider becoming part of the registry. All the information you need to find out how to be included is found at http://www.marrow.org/. YOU could be a person's only hope at living. Imagine the honor it would be to give that gift.
