Being a Native American can pose many challenges, one of them can be finding a bone marrow donor.

I am interested in a story about everything to do with bone marrow donors in Indian country. How hard it is to find one, why there needs to be more and proper procedures to name a few items I would like in the story.

Would be a great piece to have with many comments from I H S and other professionals in the field, possibly those in need of donations.

Say 700 words with a deadline of Nov. 5 for a Healthy Living section.
