The state finally passed Jaden's Law. We forced the legislature to stop dragging their feet and prioritize these life-saving donations. This is a massive victory for every family currently fighting for their lives.

This is Jaden: a lively and energetic two-year-old who had a bright future ahead of him. Just like any other two-year-old, Jaden brought tons of joy and laughter everywhere he went. He liked dinosaurs and cars and had a huge imagination. He was living a normal life until one day what seemed like a regular cold extended into a two-week ordeal. Jaden was diagnosed with AML (acute myeloid leukemia). From then, his whole life changed. Hospital visits became part of his routine. Battling the disease for nine months, Jaden lost his life on January 29, 2007. There were various treatment options available such as bone marrow or cord blood stem cells, but a limited number of donors. Unfortunately, this is a common problem that many families face, especially those from certain ethnic groups such as African Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and many more. That’s why Jaden’s Law (A4171/S5917) was proposed: to increase awareness about the benefits of bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs), and cord blood stem cells. We are asking for your help to get Jaden’s Law passed in New York State. Think about the many lives you can save. Jaden could have been your son, your brother, your nephew, or your best friend. LET’S PASS JADEN’S LAW (A4171/S5917)!
What is Jaden's Law (A4171/S5917)?
A legislation that:
(1) provides information and spreads awareness about bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) and cord blood via an online brochure on the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles website,
(2) adds information about the need for donors with voter registration card,
(3) defines details on the NYS Department of Health website about available treatment options and the need for ethnic donors, and
(4) provides locations where individuals can register to donate bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) and cord blood within New York State and NYC.

The bureaucrats in Albany are ignoring our fight but these numbers are getting too big for them to overlook much longer. We are almost at our next goal so push this to your social feeds right now to force their hand. Stop waiting for someone else to act while families are losing their children.

The New York legislature is dragging their feet while families continue to lose children to this preventable crisis. We are hitting one hundred signatures soon and I need every single one of you to blast this link out to your contacts right now. We cannot let these politicians ignore our demand for Jaden's Law any longer.

My name is Tamara, and I am an African American bone marrow donor with Delete Blood Cancer DKMS as of April 2014. I am proud to sign and spread awareness about Jaden's Law, and I look forward to making this happen together - thank you!
We want to prevent sad things like this from happening. I signed this petition as a voice for Jaden to raise awareness.
This is so important for our community. We need more donors and this bill is a great way to get the word out to people who dont know anything about how easy it is to help.
oui c est vrai ce monde est injuste et nous devons nous donnez la main pour luter car ensemble nous pouvons
God is great, I hope he will be peace over there. Nobody deserves to know that so young
Lets Get it Done
We also need more public cord blood collect banks.

This Petition *MUST be signed in order for Illinois Politicians to do the job they were elected to do on behalf of the general public. They take the hypocritical oath and sworn to uphold the safety and security of the public.
