STACITA.

I saw my friend Seems for a 90-minute catch-up this weekend. We met over a keg the first semester of 1L talking about how cool Jersey and organizing was.  She rocks my world.

Anyway, she is helping to organize the HELL out of the South Asian community for her friend Vinay who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant.  His odds are not good because a South Asian diagnosed with leukemia has a 1 in 20,000 chance of finding a bone marrow donor match.  So Seems does what she does best and is organizing nationwide drives to help him find a match.

Organizers help people move when they feel a connection. Those moments are few and far in between because it's not often that we care or care enough to think that we can cause change. Change can be so small... merely registering 20,000 to swab their mouth and try to build a greater database of donor matches. Five seconds of their life to change another's.

If you can help, move it.
