Could You be the Match?

Nicole Nelson – wife of Peterborough Police Officer Rick Nelson and mother of a 13-month-old daughter - has aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. Doctors have not found a good match for Nicole among the people already registered with the donor bank.

In an effort to help Nicole, a series of donor-screening drives have been arranged in the Concord area. A simple swab of your cheek is enough to determine if you would be a potential match. Please help Nicole and those who love her by coming to one of these donor-screening drives:

November 10, 2007 Carlisle Place Rt 2 Jefferson, NH 11:00am - 3:00pm	November 21, 2007 Grappone Conference Center 70 Constitution Avenue Concord, NH 8:00am – 2:00pm
November 28, 2007 Monadnock Community Hospital 452 Old Street Road Peterborough, NH 1:00pm – 6:00pm	December 6, 2007 Mass School of Pharmacy 1260 Elm Street Manchester, NH
