Hugo Concha is a 16-year-old young man from Ecuador who is suffering with leukemia. His best chance for survival is a bone marrow transplant from a 100% compatible donor.

Everyone in Hugo's family has been tested but unfortunately no one matched Hugo's bone marrow.  Now, Hugo depends on the Be the Match Marrow Registry for a donor not related to him.  A search in the Registry has been done but none of the 7.5 million donors registered matched with him.  You could be the one to save his life.

Join the Registry today.  There are many convenient ways you can register as a potential donor.  Visit the list of scheduled marrow registration drives at the Icla da Silva Foundations website at www.icla.org or join online by clicking here. If you do not match Hugo, there thousands of other patients like him waiting for a match.

If you are already a registered donor or does not meet the health guidelines, there are other ways you can help.  Consider making a tax-deduction donation to help us continue to recruit more donors and provide financial support to patients in need by clicking here.
