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.

Santa Cruz, CA
Dear Friends, 2/19/10
Magda, Karim and I worked very hard today enrolling donors at UC Santa Cruz. We enrolled 76 potential donors with the National Bone Marrow Registry. The marrow drive was held in conjunction with a blood drive. Many of the students who were interested in being blood donors were also interested in becoming potential bone marrow donors. I extend my gratitude to all of the students who joined the Be The Match Registry today.
