Jada Bascom, my grandaughter, was born with acute myeloid leukemia; she had a bone marrow transplant when she was 6 months old. Jada is in remission and living happily with her parents in Deer Park, WA.

In order to express our gratitude to the innumerable people it took to save Jada’s life and to support our family through this crisis we began the Jada Bascom Foundation. The foundation is sponsoring Steps To-Marrow, in which I, Jada’s grandmother, Jeana Moore, will be walking from Seattle to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to New York City, to raise awareness around the need for bone marrow donors and to recruit potential bone marrow donors for the National Bone Marrow Registry.

We hope that through our efforts many people will find their match just like Jada did.

Willits, CA







Dear Friends, 1/17/10

I am so blessed to have a warm and dry place to stay as the first in a series of storms slams into the coast of California. My thanks to Roshan of The Old West Inn in Willits. I was not able to find housing in Laytonville so I will back track tomorrow and walk to Willits over the next two days. I have news from Deer park to share. Issa and Kyle took our Jada to the emergency room today because she was running a fever and has an ear infection. Our good news is that after being treated she was able to go home and was not admitted. I will keep you all posted.
