Call From The Family of Emru Townsend

Emru Townsend, Editor of Frames Per Second Magazine is suffering from leukemia and is in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant. None of his relatives are a match, so he is relying on outside donors. We are writing to ask you to help us encourage members of the animation community to join a bone marrow registry. Hopefully, we can help find a match for Emru.

Because tissue types are inherited, patients are more likely to match someone from their own race or ethnicity. As an Afro-Canadian, Emru Townsend will be most likely to match other African, African-American or Afro-Canadian donors. So please urge anyone in your circle with this racial background to participate.

Tamu, Emru's sister, has created a Facebook group. You can join here.

We've also posted information about upcoming drives in Seattle, Northern California, Southern California and New York areas on our blog.
