Ashante Sloan needs a bone marrow transplant from someone who matches her own bone marrow. Her donor is likely to be African American, but there are not enough African Americans in the bone marrow registry. On one Sunday, one church added 230 potential donors to the national registry.

  • Been registered since mid-1990's and just contacted for a match. Oddly enough, it is not a same-race match. We all need to help each other.

  • I'm glad that Ashante took the time to make this video. I am a 36 yr old african american female and I was just diagnosised with AA this past Dec. and I recently had to speak with my Dr.'s about bone marrow transplant. I am a only child so there will be no sibling match, but I was alarmed to find out the the low % of african americans that are apart of the national registry. We need to spread the word! Thank you Ashante for sharing! I pray you find your match!

  • I'm going to do all i can on my end to get the word out on this one my friend.

  • Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you in this fight. I hope GOD brings you the match you need form Turner.
