Nick Glasgow

On May 13th, doctors at Stanford Hospital told Nick Glasgow that he has a 0% chance of finding a donor, given his unique ethnic make-up of ¼ Japanese and ¾ Caucasian.

Nick, 28 years old and an EMC employee, is in the race for his life. The need to find a qualified bone marrow doner is at a critical stage.

In mid March, Nick was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. There was a 70% chance that Nick would go into remission after one chemo treatment, however, Nicks fate lies in the other 30%. He went through two treatments, and he is still not in remission. Nicks only hope is to find a bone marrow donor. The National Bone Marrow Registry only has a handful of such potential donors, and the likelihood of them being a match is slim to none.

Nick is fighting for his life and time is limited. Please help raise awareness among the Asian/American community and encourage them to register their marrow through www.marrow.org. If you or ANYONE you know is ¼ Asian and ¾ Caucasian, PLEASE register today.

Please publicize this cause by posting it as your status and spreading it. Nick's time is limited, so please act NOW. Together, we can help save Nick!

Thank you for the support. Your efforts could very well save Nicks life, or the life of any one of thousands in need of a marrow transplant.

I heard about Nick's story, and I was incredibly touched. I'm half-Japanese, half-Caucasian, but I never thought of how difficult it would be if I was ever diagnosed with Leukemia and needed a donor. I will do everything to get his message out, and I hope that something good will come out of this.
