[Commons-Law] Very urgent please help!!

[Priti Radhakrishnan]

Hi everyone,

Please read this and then DO something. Our friends lives depend on it.

Vinay Chakravarthy and Sameer Bhatia, dear friends of ours, have been
diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. They are 28 and 31 years old and have
been married to their wives for less than two years.

We are fighting to ensure that enough people are in the bone marrow registry
so that there is a match for transplants. We are convinced that we are
separate by less than 0 degrees and can mobilize all Indians to help Vinay
and Sameer!  Check out www.helpvinay.org .

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.  it is that painful.  and that urgent.  PLEASE make phone
calls to your sisters, brothers & peeps tonight.  We don't have much time.

(It is so easy! A short form, a swab to the cheek (saliva). And its free!)

Then please GO to the nearest donor center or a drive already
scheduled/organized, available at
http://www.helpvinay.org/dp/index.php?q=taxonomy/term/2. As drives get
organized in different cities (efforts are currently underway in boston,
NYC, chicago), they will be posted to the site: www.helpvinay.org.

 Even if you are not in the US or if you are not Indian I urge you to get
registered. Every bit helps and Vinay can receive his transplant from
someone abroad without that person having to leave their own city!

We're running out of time. We've got to find a match in the next few weeks.
Imagine if this was your son, spouse, friend. What would you do?

Save a life. Make the contribution of a little bit of your time. Vinay,
Sameer and their families are counting on you.

We've registered. Have you?

Rameet, Priti & Madan
