Guam - It's a an opportunity for you to save a life by taking a moment out of your busy schedule to register for the bone marrow drive. 44-year-old former Guam resident Joey Tyquiengco and 22-year-old UCLA graduate Janet Liang need to find matches by April. Yigo resident Rachel Martin, 20, hopes that her half-Chuukese blood could help someone in need.
Firefighter Mark Terlaje hopes the public will come out and register as he has been a match and donated twice to the same individual in Hawaii. He said, "I've never done anything like this before. so it was a good experience...it's very rewarding knowing that you have given somebody that extra time to be with their family and I challenge everybody who wants to question saving a life."
The bone marrow drive started today and runs through Saturday from 1-6pm and Sunday from 10am-4pm at the Guam Premier Outlets.
