Opinions

The response to the Bone Marrow Drive from the community is outstanding, much greater than we ever expected. It would certainly save the lives of many Canadians. Thanks to volunteers of BAPS Charities who worked so diligently to promote this stem cell drive. – Representative of Canadian Blood Services
