Donor Sought for Rutgers Student from Marlboro Battling Leukemia

Eric Hou is 25 years old and battling acute myeloid leukemia (AML) for the second time in 16 months. He is a senior at Rutgers University studying cell biology and philosophy.

Eric needs a bone marrow transplant to help him fight this disease again. Every day, thousands of adults and children like Eric are diagnosed with blood diseases that require stem cell transplants. Eric and his loved ones hope to find a bone marrow match so Eric can begin his cure.

Please donate today or join the Friends of Eric virtual bone marrow drive to register today.

The cure for blood cancer could be you! Join the Be The Match Registry. Marrow donors in your community are urgently needed to save the lives of patients with diseases like leukemia, lymphoma, or sickle cell anemia. Patients are most likely to match someone who shares their ethnic background.

Eric is waiting for his match and it could be you!
