URGENT: More Drives Needed
Dear Team Sameer,
In recent weeks, we have learned of two more Indian-Americans in our social circle who need transplants. We must mobilize and push forward with more drives so that these folks can find bone marrow matches. Here is a posting about one of them.
Please do what you can to spread the word and, more importantly, organize drives yourselves (see this page for instructions on how to do so). Email us from the Contact page if you have any other thoughts on how to push the cause forward or need assistance organizing a drive. With 25,000 more registrants, we should be able to find 3-4 more people matches immediately!
Thank you for all that you’ve already done. Let’s push forward so we can still hit our goal and save more lives.

Hey Sameer,
First of congratulations on your transplant. This must be a pretty rough time for you considering all the things I read about the post-transplant effects. I thought I would just reach out to you and let you know that both you and vinay have been in my thoughts and prayers for some time now. Hopefully soon I will enter the Dayzero club once a match is found. Get well and stay strong.

Yes, we will do what we can to get you into the club, Bevin!! You’re in our thoughts as well!
