BE THE MATCH DONOR DRIVE / Paul's Journey from "Hope" to Destiny

You Have The Power To Save Someone's Life!

In January 2012 doctors told Paul Orednick that he had less than a year to live without a stem cell transplant.  His "hope" came through a perfect match in Destiny, his stem cell donor.  Destiny had signed up to be a donor at a Be The Match Donor Drive while still in college.  Destiny's generous donation of stem cells has given Paul a second chance at life.  Paul and Destiny will meet for the first time and host a Donor Drive in Lemont during the Wednesday night Car Show.  You could be someone's "HOPE"!  To join you only need to be between the ages of 18 - 44, fill out a brief health questionnaire, and give a simple cheek swab.    About half of the patients who need a stem cell transplant do not receive one in time due to a lack of donors.  You have the power to save a life!

Paul and Destiny look forward to seeing you!
