My name is Kim Roper and I need your help. Neither radiation therapy nor chemotherapy has cured my Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. My best option is a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, there is no bone marrow match for me in the National Registry. I have no siblings and am dependent on the National Registry to find a donor match. It is easy to see if you are a potential match for me or for any one of the hundreds of people who need a life-saving bone marrow transplant. All it takes is a few minutes of your time and a cotton swab. You have the power to save a life. Take the test. Spread the word.
How to Join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)
Like most of you, I had no idea that people with cancer depend on the national registry to find a bone marrow match to save their life. I also had no idea how easy it was to get tested and that all it takes is a cotton swab. You might not end up being a match for me, but by registering and getting tested, you might someday save the life of someone else. Take the test. Ask your family and friends to take the test. You can make a difference. Thank you.

Former PSU Lacrosse Player Matches - Apr 21, 2015
Penn State lacrosse player Kyle Van Thof (PSU '14) was one of the hundreds of Penn State students who registered at the Match4Kim drive held at Penn State in November of 2012. The PSU drive was organized and hosted by Drew Roper (PSU '13) and the Penn State lacrosse team. Kyle and Drew, both midfielders on the Penn State lacrosse team, were college roommates at the time. Although Kyle did not match for Kim, he did match for someone else who has leukemia and who needed a life-saving bone marrow transplant. Kyle made his donation in early February. Way to go Kyle! Of the over 4000 people who have registered so far at Match4Kim donor drives, Kyle is the third person who has matched for someone else and who actually donated life-saving bone marrow for someone in need. To read more about Kyle, click here. To date, the PSU lacrosse drive remains the largest Match4Kim drive and added almost 1000 people to the National Bone Marrow Registry at Be the Match. Two people have now received life-saving bone marrow donations as a direct result of the Penn State lacrosse drive. Both donors were PSU student athletes.
