Reporter Michelle Healy recently did a two-part feature on Be The Match. Her first piece highlighted the impact Robin Roberts’ has had on growing the registry. The article details the marrow transplant procedure, and emphasizes Be The Match’s role in helping patients find donors. The second article profiles bone marrow donor Erin Wright and helps combat common myths about the procedure. Both articles quote Be The Match medical director of transplant services, Dr. Willis Navarro, who comments on the importance of adding young, committed donors to the registry.
