Here is a letter sent from Brooke this morning. PLEASE take the swab test. It takes no more than 5 minutes and all you do is swab the inside of your cheeks. Thank you, Bag Snob

Thank you so much for your response, interest and offer to help- We have extended the deadline for the drive until February because I have not responded to any sort of treatment and still have no match- We are going to proceed with a new protocol in the treatment of my cancer that will hopefully “buy me some time” for a stem cell transplant so I would appreciate greatly you forwarding the email to those who you think would be interested in responding. There are ample dollars in the fund to cover the $52 cost for testing. I am so grateful that you would even consider sending the email to your classmates- Its simply a numbers game – I just need ONE match and even though it hasn’t happened yet ,I remain optimistic that one can and will surface.
Again, My thanks
Brooke

I just received this email about a friend of a friend who is very sick and in need of a life saving transplant but has not been able to find a match. Please read her email and help if you can. I met Brooke briefly last June at a birthday luncheon and found her to be a sweet and beautiful women, 20 minutes of your time may save a soul.
Gratefully yours, The Bag Snob

LETTER FROM BROOKE

DEAR LOVED ONES, FRIENDS, AND FRIENDS OF FRIENDS,

This has been one of the hardest letters I have ever had to write. I am much more comfortable helping others than asking for myself, but I NEED YOUR HELP AND I NEED IT NOW.
