Michelle and I are really excited about a new registration drive this upcoming Saturday (August 23rd). The Cal Athletic Department and football team have been gracious enough to support Project Michelle at the football team’s annual Fan Appreciation Day at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
The Cal football team, including Coach Tedford, will be signing up for the registry! We’ll also be registering fans (FREE for everyone, including caucasians) from 10:15am to 2pm. Festivities will run from 12-2 p.m., with a pre-event starting at 11 a.m. by the North Tunnel. Please tell your family and friends to come register and support Project Michelle and the Golden Bears at Fan Appreciation Day.
More details HERE:
The athletic department is expecting a large audience so if you can come out and help volunteer, we could really use your help. Please contact us here savemichelle@gmail.com.
GO BEARS!!!

My husband Graham couldn’t find a donor and ran out of time to wait for one.
He had a Double Cord Blood Transplant with ex-vivo expansion of one cord on Wed 6th August. He is doing well and is the 8th person in the world to have this treatment.
Dr Colleen Delaney who is running the trial is about the publish the results of her first 8 patients and has just been awarded $11,000,000 by the US Government to continue her investigations.
Her results are amazing. Patients are engrafting fast (1-2 weeks), there have been no relapses, reduced infections, reduced GVHD and no TRM. There was one late death due to exposure to the varicella virus.
I feel compelled to reach out to everyone who is waiting for a donor to contact the Seattle Cancer care Alliance to find out how Dr Delaney may be able to help you.
I feel this treatment is eventually going to benefit thousands of people but if you need a transplant NOW to save your life, get in touch.
