Hundreds showed up at the March for Marrow. The sun came out just in time for a beautiful walk along the waterfront, across from the Queen Mary. The 22 teams, including Team Marrowforums, raised over $25,000, while other donations, sponsorships, and the silent auction brought in more. Patients met other patients, families met other families, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Perhaps best of all, Be The Match registered 19 new people for the bone marrow registry! |
