Get ‘swabbed,’ save lives: Bone marrow drive needs support

Swab kits are used to collect DNA samples from inside the mouth from volunteers wishing to be on the bone marrow donor register Jan. 13, 2015, on RAF Mildenhall, England. A bone marrow drive is scheduled for Feb. 23 to 28 on RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath, and representatives will be available at each base Feb. 23 to 27 to collect cheek swabs for anyone wishing to participate in the drive. Samples will also be collected Feb. 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at both base exchanges for anyone else fitting the criteria and wishing to be on the registry.
