Randy Phillips, director of the Nation’s Youth Work Learn program, participated in the bone marrow donor registration drive. Oneida Nation and Be The Match Hold Bone Marrow Drive for Area Teen
The Oneida Nation and BeThe Match held a bone marrow donor registration drive at the Nation to help find a suitable match for Taylor Matt, a Cazenovia high school student who is battling leukemia and is in need of a bone marrow transplant.
She is one-quarter American Indian, which makes it more difficult to find a match. More than 75 people were tested to determine if they might be a suitable bone marrow donor for Taylor or the thousands of other patients who are currently on the waiting list. Testing is painless, requiring only a quick swab on the inside of one’s mouth.
