I Joined, Have You?

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CUA chapter.

Last Tuesday, I hosted a Bone Marrow Registry Drive with my SGA co-senator, Jessie Burdette. We helped over 100 individuals join the registry. I decided to host this drive after my friend Caroline started hosting them at our parish at home and at her school in DC. It meant a lot that so many people were willing and excited to join the registry. My parents taught me that things happen for a reason and no matter what today brings, tomorrow is a new day. That is why I joined the registry in high school- I want everyone to have a chance at tomorrow. Everyone has the chance to change a life in a different way, I hope that my way is by being a Match.

For those who were unable to come on Tuesday, follow this link to join the registry! https://join.bethematch.org/CatholicU
