Forgive me if I violate some law of Netiquette. :-)

Please read the enclosed post, and pass on.  Briefly, it requests help
in passing the word or signing up for the bone marrow registry to assist
an individual in finding a bone marrow donor for his twelve year old
sister who is half Korean and half Caucasian.

Even if the listed individual is able to find a donor, many won't be so
lucky.  The need for bone marrow donors, especially non-white and
bi-racial donors, is huge in this country.  If you are interested in
learning more, organizing a drive or becoming a donor yourself, please
contact one of the following organizations.  In Pittsburgh, our local
donor center is the Central Blood Bank at (412) 456-5595.  If not in
Pittsburgh, you can contact the National Bone Marrow Donor Program at 1
800 MARROW2 to find the center nearest you.

Thanks for your time,

Kim Ratliff Hall
Registered Bone Marrow Donor
