Pat's Driving For Donors

Miami Dade Recording Breaking Marrow Drive

Wow, We hosted a marrow drive on Wednesday in Miami with the Miami Dade Police Department and over 700 people came out and joined the National Marrow Registry! We are going to have to raise more money for tissue typing fees if this keeps up (which we hope it does). We already have 925 donors signed up and we haven't even left Florida yet. Thanks everyone.

Pat did a radio interview this morning with Y100 in Miami and Z100 in NY. He was awesome and I was so proud of him! If you want to listen to the segment, visit www.elvisduran.com. The website got over 500 hits in 30 minutes and people have sent really nice emails. If anyone knows someone in any of the cities we are visiting who may want to be a local sponsor, please let us know!

We leave in 8 days and there is so much to do! The RV isn't finished being wrapped and the city locations aren't finalized in a lot of cities. We will all be working on the road!

  • Pat (& Family),

    I saw you on Larry King and was quite impressed at your presence on tv. You are an amazing young man and I want you to know that I am happy that you are in remission! I hope that you continue your quest of the marrow registry and as a Canadian would appreciate it if you got us involved. Although I do not have cancer and personally have never known anyone to need a bone marrow transplant... I know there are many people in our community and all over the world who need them. I would be more than willing to be a donor and I know that I could get many people involved in this amazing and caring quest. Please let me know if there is anything I can do or help in any way. You can contact me at adriameloche@yahoo.ca
