@eveningmagic @honeyychile @DeinosOfDeicide @JudgeJoeBrownTV It’s most likely matches will come from your same/similar heritage but there are instances one can match someone who is a different background. Plus as many people doing 23andme and Ancestry tests, we all only know a small part of our actual backgrounds.

Today I'm talking to Andrew Garcia, a local 22-year-old who says he never worried about his Hispanic heritage until he needed a bone marrow transplant and a donor wasn't readily available. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews

[Cherise Seucharan @cseucharan]

People with mixed ethnicity in Canada have a significantly lower chance of finding a #stemcell donor match - which Jeremy Chow didn't know until he needed one. My latest with @JennyPengNow https://t.co/YW4f921pdN via @starvancouver #bloodcancer #stemcelldonor

[Cherise Seucharan @cseucharan]

I found out from Athena Asklipiadis, founder of @MixedMarrow in the US, that many mixed-race people turn to online communities for support because "there’s no mixed-race town." So social media helps people to find help #mixedmarrow

All continues to be well post transplant! This year will be Anya’s 2 year anniversary. Some minor skin issues and digestive problems only. Thankful for all donors and organizations working so hard!! Blessed @DKMS_us @BeTheMatch @GiftofLife @MixedMarrow

@RealBallesMcGee @farzananayani @BeTheMatch sorry for the late reply! yes, heritage plays a large role in matching. donors and patients are more likely to have the same racial/ethnic background. https://t.co/kJJPIzv0sa

Are you on the @BeTheMatch bone marrow registry? You could save another person's life. Pls help Matthew, a 7 yr old who is #multiracial Vietnamese & White. I heard from his family, the process in this case is like donating blood. https://t.co/8wtjz0CcqT @MixedMarrow #bethematch

@mmaltaisLA Thank you for this tweet! Sorry just seeing it now!!

[Michelle Maltais @mmaltaisLA]

This is such important work. A dear multi-ethnic friend with leukemia had a difficult time finding a match. Orgs like @MixedMarrow are lifesavers https://t.co/FZT1GaDMyU

[Bloomberg Law @BLaw]

Jacquie's favorite professional moment came when she interviewed the founder of @MixedMarrow, which aims to increase biracial donors for bone marrow. It lead to a story about the importance of personalized medicine: https://t.co/RUtsDxYlF1

[PillPack @PillPack]

Unlike blood donation, bone marrow donation requires a similar genetic makeup between donor and recipient, so mixed race patients can have much harder time matching with a donor– @MixedMarrow is aiming to change that. https://t.co/aCbviAAF0F
