In this powerful hidden gem from our episode with Destini Harris, one of RVA's local news reporters, we highlight the urgent need for Black people to join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Due to a significant underrepresentation of Black donors, many patients of African descent struggle to find a match for life-saving bone marrow transplants. We explore why diversity in the donor pool is crucial and how a simple registration can make all the difference in saving a life. If you’ve ever wanted to make a meaningful, tangible impact, this is your moment to act. Tune in to discover why joining the NMDP is so vital and how you can be a beacon of hope for those in need.
