Khanh only has 6 months left to live and Michelle URGENTLY NEEDS A BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT.

BOMBTWINZ has teamed up with Project Khanh, Project Michelle, and AADP.ORG to better inform people about bone marrow transplants.

Having same ethnic background donors will better their chances of finding a match. Khanh is full Vietnamese and Michelle is Vietnamese, Chinese, and Thai.

"Why do you have to be an ethnic minority [in this situation]? Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) are 'markers' on the white blood cells. These antigens are inherited characteristics, just as is the color of one's eyes and hair or skin. In a tissue transplant, the closer the match in HLA type between the donor and the recipient, the greater the chance that the transplant will besuccessful. Due to these genetic factors, patients have the best chance of finding a donor who is the same racial background."

Please spread the word by reposting this video. Your help is greatly needed as well as appreciated.

Register as a potential donor today at marrow.org or check out the drives in your city.

Anyone that does anything less than commend these two hardworking, intelligent&compassionate ladies on this video and the other work they've done, seriously needs to give themselves a gut check. What kind of person are you? You're probably that guy I passed sleeping on the park bench that wakes up to throw rocks at kids. I'm sure these ladies carried their message across and hopefully everyone can help pass on the knowledge you've been given. There is a shortage and the AADP needs donors.
