00:00.000 --> 00:02.111
Today , we're actually holding a bone

00:02.111 --> 00:04.167
marrow registry drive in partnership

00:04.167 --> 00:06.389
with D . O . D . Salute to life program

00:06.389 --> 00:08.700
to try to help find a match for over

00:08.710 --> 00:10.877
18,000 or more people that are looking

00:10.877 --> 00:13.099
for someone that could potentially save

00:13.099 --> 00:15.266
their life . The more people we get on

00:15.266 --> 00:17.321
it , the better chance it is that we

00:17.321 --> 00:19.377
can save somebody's life . It's very

00:19.377 --> 00:19.030
simple , right ? It's cheek swab 10

00:19.030 --> 00:21.197
seconds on one side of your cheek , 10

00:21.197 --> 00:23.474
seconds on the other side of the cheek .

00:23.474 --> 00:25.697
And then we mail this specimen out to a

00:25.697 --> 00:25.670
laboratory . Usually it takes about 6

00:25.670 --> 00:28.850
to 8 weeks to get the results up and

00:28.850 --> 00:30.017
down . The inside of

00:33.080 --> 00:35.150
the 1 49 is like family here . Since

00:35.150 --> 00:37.261
we're such a small unit , we've had a

00:37.261 --> 00:39.206
great turnout were over 100 people

00:39.206 --> 00:41.317
signed up on the bone marrow registry

00:41.317 --> 00:43.483
drive . But you know , they won't have

00:43.483 --> 00:45.650
an opportunity unless we come out here

00:45.650 --> 00:47.650
and register . You know , it's just

00:47.650 --> 00:47.450
kind of a self satisfaction that you

00:47.460 --> 00:49.640
actually have given someone the

00:49.640 --> 00:51.862
opportunity at another chance of life .

00:51.862 --> 00:53.973
You've saved someone's life . Whether

00:53.973 --> 00:55.973
that be an adult or a child that is

00:55.973 --> 00:57.918
going through some type of medical

00:57.918 --> 00:59.973
condition , uh that that they're not

00:59.973 --> 01:01.240
gonna be able to survive otherwise
