Aaron’s only hope of survival is to find a bone marrow donor. The only problem is that chances of a match is rare, mainly because there aren't many ethnically mixed (one parent is Hispanic or Latino and the other parent is Caucasian) registered on the national registry. Only that genetic mix is likely to help Aaron. That is why we are doing donor drives to sign up as many POTENTIAL donors as possible.
