Event Beneficiaries

Every year, more than 10,000 men, women and children get life-threatening diseases such as leukemia and lymphoma, and do not have a marrow donor in their family. To live, they need to find an unrelated marrow donor whose tissue type matches their own. Patients are most likely to match donors of their same race and ethnicity.

Janet Liang illustrates this need. On August 24, 2009, Janet was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Now she is faced with the daunting task of searching for an unrelated bone marrow donor and is in dire need of your help to save her life and other patients as well.

22-year old Janet is the daughter of Guy and Teresa Liang, immigrants from Guangzhou, China. Her family moved to California from Hawaii when she was 11, and she now splits her time living in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Close friends know her as a warm, sympathetic, compassionate, and down-to-earth person. Strangers regard her as a friendly and surprisingly engaging individual. In her spare time when she's not a workaholic or sleeping, Janet loves eating at buffets and singing with friends. She secretly hopes to meet President Barack Obama given their shared Hawaiian upbringing and finally using her French in Paris someday.
