Get Swabbed!! Shannon Needs our HELP!!

We came together and saved Jennifer Jones Austin, now Shannon needs our help!

Shannon is a talented pre-teen who was blessed to audition for The Lion King and land the role as Young Nala. This past spring, Shannon was diagnosed with Leukemia and now she is fighting for her life.

Chocolate Chip family you know the drill. You, your family and friends can help Shannon by getting swabbed to determine if you are a match to donate bone marrow. As you know African-Americans are under-represented on the bone marrow registry which makes it difficult to find a match when our people are stricken with this deadly disease. If your bone marrow can't help Shannon, it might help save someone else's life. So GET SWABBED TODAY and help save Shannon! To find out more about joining the registry check out this link: http://www.getswabbed.com/
