Save The World.All About AmyAmy KatzMany of you have asked how Amy is doing. Right now she continues to respond to her medication and is in school getting straight A's and still enjoying playing trumpet and hanging out with her friends. We hope that the medication keeps working and holding her leukemia at bay. Knowing it is not a cure...we continue to search for her donor. To all of you that have taken the time to learn about the National Marrow Donor Program and become donors, we are eternally grateful. Please continue to pass the word onto others to help Amy and others like her in need.

In 2003, Amy Katz was diagnosed withChronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) last year. CML is a type of leukemia that is rare for a child her age. The only known cure for her cancer is a stem cell transplant. Her doctors have searched the worldwide registry for a stem cell donor and have failed to find a match. But the search continues andyour blood might contain the right type of blood stem cells that could help Amy or many others just like her who are also searching for a donor match.

Amy is currently fighting the leukemia with a new form of chemotherapy. She volunteered to participate in a worldwide study for this drug because as she said, "it would help other kids". Amy is a 8th grader in the Mt Lebanon school district. She is active on the student council, she loves to play the trumpet, she is learning Spanish and, before she became ill, had just made the cut for the travel soccer team.

You can help Amy and thousands ofothers who are searching every day, just like her, for their own donor matches
