Chris Smith Drive

  Thanks for your interest in our efforts to find donors for Chris and many other potential patients currently in search of a life saving match!

We apologize for the down time of our web sight.  It has been due to computer problems and the loss of our original information and layout.  We are currently working to restore all information.  Thanks for your interest and patience.

Big News:

Although we have not found a match for Chris,  7-8 bone marrow transplants have taken place from our drives, at Murray State, Paducah and West Virginia.  Two of the seven donors were students at MSU who registered at our previous drive at the University. Their support has made such a difference.  What wonderful role models!!

The National Marrow Donor Program has informed us that 50+ people have been contacted for additional testing or been notified they could be a potential match for someone.  To date, we have placed 3,000+ donors on the national registry!

Although this journey has been challenging, it is a major blessing to know we have saved 7 human beings and potentially more!!

 We remain most grateful for all the prayers, love and concern expressed to our family during Chris' illness.
