    Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

    I've done my part to help the cause - I'm already listed in the national bone marrow registry, and I've put up a blog post on Without a Peer, the RPI Hockey blog I maintain, detailing (with a pair of Yale-produced videos) Mandi's condition and what people can do to help.

    Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

      Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

      I just wrote to the Eaddress that USCHO provided in their article, about possibly being able to hold a drive here on the Seaoast of NH....I work in a hospital and would have to believe that there's something we can do to help. I will be talking with the ob/gyn docs I work with about getting them to help with the cord blood.......Thanks rinkrat for the idea about blood platlets, I'll look into it. Fair winds to you Mandi.....

        Someone asked me today, what it takes to get a blood drive going here in boston. Can anyone shed some light?

          I'd like to offer my encouragement and prayers for Mandi. I know the agony of needing and waiting for a transplant first hand, it's no picnic...it sucks. Not to mention the agony of the treatments while waiting. It's the battle of a lifetime. Stay strong and hang tough. My prayers for all the matching donors you need for your cure.

            Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

            I got a response from Dr. Collins on my asking about holding a drive for Mandi....he basically steared me towards asking the ob/gyn Docs that I work with to get involved by putting the pamphlet about core blood in their offices and making the expectant mothers aware of the situation, and how easy is for them to help.....I probably will put some pamphlets up in Maternity so it's another avenue.....all I did rinkrat was to read all the info that every link and story is avaiable from the original story at USCHO.....her FB page says they are down tp 60 days, which is why I think Dr. Collins lead me away from a drive, since it does take time to get everything that is needed coordinated, but that is conjecture on my part....keep the skates moving Mandi....G-d bless

              Since I accept the fact that all of the USCHO forum folks are better techies than I, if you go to Facebook, and look for, Become Mandi's Hero, you will be able to find out what you can do to help...this Dr. Collins, whom is seen in the Yale video, is quite a guy....he answers everything you send him right away, and is simply awesome!

                IIRC, Dr Collins lost a daughther himself to the disease sometime last year. She was a Med student at Yale. There is yet another current student-athlete at Yale (besides Mandi) affected. All three are of mixed heritage making finding a match much more of a challenge.

                  Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

                  I was speaking with a friend today and he wondered if anyone may have access to Don Cherry or Ron Maclean or anyone from CBC. For one more night at least...they have one of the largest audiences available to get the donor message out to the masses.

                  Please help...

                  EDIT: I wrote an email to the CBC addressed to Ron & Don championing the immediate need for exposure with respect to Mandi`s donor requirements.

                  Maybe it wouldn`t hurt for each of you to do the same...

                              Excellant! They are obviously aware.

                              Maybe they just need a nudge?

                                Re: Yale's Mandi Schwartz

                                I posted the following on the mens boards tonight...

                                Here is Mandi's plight.

                                http://www.becomemyhero.org/mandi_sc...andi_card.html

                                Here's how you might be able to help:

                                I would be remiss if I didn't approach every hockey fan regardless of Nationality to send an email to CBC with the headline Mandi Schwartz expressing your interest in having Don Cherry feature Mandi's story on HNIC tomorrow night. This in an effort to raise immediate awareness of Mandi's and many others... need for a core blood donor. It's a long shot...I know, but exposing Mandi's story on Canada's National Broadcaster, to what will likely be the largest hockey audience on record watching a game six is a long shot that will be taken.

                                http://www.cbc.ca/contact/

                                Spread the word. If it isn't enough that one life begins during the delivery of a child, something so simple as donating core blood could in all likelihood save another. Who knew?

                                God Speed Mandi.....
