Hey guys,
I am writing you ask you for your help. A friend of my cousin's was recently diagnosed with leukemia and needs to find a bone marrow match in the next two weeks. His name is Vinay Chakravarthy and he is currently a resident in orthopedics in Boston.

As you may or may not know, there are not a lot of South Asians on the bone marrow list and it is extremely difficult to find a match. If the urgency of all this hasn't hit you yet, consider this: today, a Caucasian seeking a match will average 15 hits in the registry. A South Asian, 1 or 0.

The family is setting up drives all over the country and I strongly encourage you to please find the drive closest to you and sign up for the registry. It is very simple to register - its free and they DO NOT draw blood, just a swab in the mouth.

More information about Vinay and dates for the drives (nationwide) can be found at this website
