Michelle is 26 years old.
Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February 2007, Michelle underwent chemotherapy for seven months but
relapsed in May 2008. She now needs to find a bone marrow match to save her life. You could be that person.

What you can do to help Michelle or others like her.
The first step in becoming a hero requires a cheek swab and ten minutes of your time. If you are a match, the transplant can often be done entirely through the blood. We have less than a month to find a match for Michelle. The outcome is simple -- someone lives because of your donation. You could be the one to save Michelle, or one of thousands of other people like her.

Your generosity knows no bounds.
We cannot express in words our immense appreciation for everyone that has registered. Team Michelle has been working around the clock organizing bone marrow drives around the country to find Michelle a match. With each person that registers, we are one step closer to saving the life of someone in need. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.

I wish the blood donation age was lowered... Ever since freshmen year, I've wanted to donate blood, but you have to be at least 17 years old with parental consent and unfortunately, i have a summer birthday, so i can't donate 'til senior year. And this just made me want to donate even more. I know the bone marrow transplant is quite painful but if i was a match i wouldn't wait even a minute to decide wether or not i would want to donate...

Although you may be too young to register yourself, you're never too young to help save Michelle.

I challenge those reading this to not only register, but also to take the step into setting up a bone marrow registration drive near you. People have generously responded nationwide already; however, I know there are tons of voices out there that can also make a difference.

Be the one to save Michelle's life.
