Every three minutes in the United States, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. With over 50,000 blood cancer related deaths annually, such a diagnosis can feel like a death sentence. Gift of Life is a national registry for donors of stem cells and bone marrow. If you match with a patient in need you can quite literally save their life. Aakash Parekh is president of the IU branch and he wants to sign you up.

Activate! is a partnership between WFHB and the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network, working together to build a strong, healthy and engaged community. You can learn more about volunteer opportunities in the WFHB listening area at bloomingtonvolunteernetwork.org
