“There were 41 people typed @ 2 Broadway last Friday. Coney Island Depot held a registry this Wednesday and NYCT will hold another on Friday, Nov. 14 @ the 207th Street Depot. West Farms Depot has one booked for December 3rd.

We are looking to get something started @ the new Grand Street facility. Do not lose hope. We can help Cesar,” said Mike Mantel, Sr.Director, Controller’s Office, who recovered from leukemia as a result of a similar bone marrow transplant registry effort held at NYCT.

In addition, for those unable to participate in NYCT registries, there are sixty bone marrow drives held throughout the tri-state area per  week. Go to www.icla.org. Call Albert Rodriguez @ Bus Command Center 718-213-0239.

Cesar’s wife Ann Marie invites everyone to participate on Sunday, November 16, 8am-2pm at St. Elizabeth Church, 94-20 85th Street, Ozone Park, NY 11416. For more about onsite bone marrow registries, contact Mike Mantell @ 646-252-6593.
