Sisters advocate for marrow donor registry with South Texas Blood & Tissue Center
Sickle Cell Anemia affects one out of every 365 Black people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Marrow drives that were scheduled for Black History Month at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center were postponed because of last weekโs winter storm. Instead of sulking, the sisters are advocates for the โBe The Matchโ marrow registry, hoping to increase survival chances for themselves and others. To join the marrow registry in their honor, text K2KLUV to 61474. AdRelated: Gene-editing treatment shows promise for sickle cell disease
