A group of Asian Americans out in Chicago found that a majority of people don’t understand the process at bone marrow drives and think it involves needles or will be painful. They made this short video to entertain but also educate people on the process of joining the registry. All it takes is a 5 minute cheek swab to register into the Bone Marrow Registry and save a life.

Registering is simply signing up to be a potential donor, there is no actual donating occurring at the drive. If you are a match for somebody, they will contact you asking if you would like to go through with the actual procedure. Your 5 minute cheek swab could help someone like Janet Liang.
