MBCR & Dana-Farber Bone Marrow Drive

Mills PR, Neighbor

Massachusetts
Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR) and Dana-Farber seek donors between the
ages of 18-60 to enter the national bone marrow registry at South Station.

A quick swab of the cheek will identify life-saving bone marrow donors
and provide healthy stem cells for individuals like Bob Evans, a veteran MBCR
locomotive engineer who is fighting leukemia. Mr.
Evans approached MBCR to host this drive in order to help others with
life-threatening blood diseases.



Dana-Farber's
donor center is a fully accredited member of the National Marrow Donor Program
(NMDP). The NMDP has facilitated more than 35,000 marrow or blood stem cell
transplants for patients who do not have matching donors in their families.
