The Cure Starts with YOU!
join the Be the Match® Registry
Jordan Franco is a 12 year old, grade 6 student
at the Robert Frost Middle School in
Lawrence, MA. At a young age, Jordan was
diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease, a
hereditary blood disorder which results in
periods where Jordan is often hospitalized to
manage the pain. These episodes can result in
damage to vital organs.
The good news is that there IS a cure… and it
starts with YOU! Bone marrow (stem cell)
transplant can cure Sickle Cell Disease.
To join the Be The Match® Registry:
 Testing is free and painless (just a simple
mouth swab)
