Vancouver’s Coop Radio had us on to discus Nadia’s Swab event on their It Takes a Village program.
Mary-Lynn from OneMatch.ca first describes Canadian Blood Service’s One Match program and blood donation. Thor follows up with Nadia’s Quest. The purpose was to highlight community, good fortune, and the kindness of strangers. They are helping promote the bone marrow donor registry (Swab Drive) on Feb 2, from 1-5 pm at the Zavieh (Burrard & Nelson Street). You can download the audio from their site.
The bone marrow registry drive is being held in Nadia’s and Sophia’s names. Sophia is another beautiful little girl of mixed ethnicity who desperately needs a bone marrow transplant, and like Nadia, is having trouble finding a match. Could it be you? Could you be her Hero? This pdf poster has the details.
You can learn more about Nadia’s buddy Sophia at her Facebook page: Sophia’s Journey.
Thank you Elham and Yas for organizing this event, and Thank you Coop Radio for sharing our story and helping raise awareness of OneMatch.ca.
Hey – we even got them to play Corb Lund’s Cows Around ! 🙂
