Urgent! Filipina filmmaker needs help!!


[A request from a worthy cause.]

==================================

Hello Everyone,

Many of you may have heard about or received my previous email about Christine Pechera, a Filipina filmmaker, who is battling cancer (for the second time around). She is currently in the hospital undergoing 24/7 chemo treatment and the doctors tell her she only has a few more weeks to find her perfect life-saving bone marrow match!! Please take a few minutes to read the email below to see how you or someone you know might be able to help save a life! And please spread the word.

Much Appreciation,
Debbie Fan

Subject: A quick new way to register as a donor!

Hello All,

Sorry to keep barraging you with emails, but this is very exciting news. You and your friends can now join the marrow registry without even leaving your home. Just click the following link

http://christine.site.ph/selfreg.html

Fill out the form to request a free cheek swab test kit, which will be mailed to you within 2 business days. You can take the test at home, and simply mail it back to Christine's hospital, City of Hope. The test is painless, safe, quick and easy, and it's free to all minorities.

So please, if you have not registered, order the test today.

More importantly, help us spread the word. Contact Filipino organizations, churches, clubs etc, and ask them to forward the information to their membership. Or if you're a member of a Filipino organization, make an announcement and send people to Christine's website.

www.savechristine.com

Tell them to click the "NEWSFLASH! Signing up for the Registry Just Got Easier" link at the top of the page to order a self test kit.

We only have a few more weeks to find a donor for Christine-- and this just might be our last chance to save her life. So please, help out today.

More information about Christine and the marrow donation process is available on her website and forum: www.savechristine.com

UPDATE ON DONOR SEARCH IN THE PHILIPPINES

Thanks to all of you who have made donations, our search for a donor in the Philippines is already underway. But we are still thousands of dollars short of raising the money we need to test all of Christine's family members there. So if you haven't given, please consider making a financial contribution today. It's tax deductible, and it just may save Christine's life. You can make a contribution online by clicking the following link:

https://www.registrationfactory.com/v3/?EventUUID=59B857F6

Please note that the mailing address for check donations has been changed. The new address is:

The Christine Pechera Foundation
PO Box 190415
Atlanta, GA 31119

Thank you again for everything you have done and are doing to help Christine.

Jake
