Hi, my name is David Michael Levy. I am 25 years old and in need of a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, my sisters do not match me and so I am looking to the Jewish community for help. My best chance of finding a genetically matched donor is to recruit as many volunteers of similar descent as possible. In order to become a donor, please register online at http://www.giftoflife.org or go to your local donor drive. You can also visit my website, at http://www.savelevy.org or call my sister Valerie at 301-537-5053 for more information. Thank you very much.
