Dear Soon-to-be Mother,
Soon you'll be holding a new life in your arms. Regardless of how many children you already have, the joy and wonder of the sheer miracle of new life is exhilarating … but that is just the beginning. Did you know that you can create another miracle and give another life, without any effort and any payment from your side?
Stored inside the umbilical cord (which is discarded after birth) is an amazing gift of life in the form of stem cells. Stem cells are "parent cells" before their final transformation. In the body, these cells can become any kind of cell the body needs – and that's the reason for their amazing medical value. Stem cells hold the promise of cure for some of humanity's most severe ailments – including leukemia, Fanconi's anemia and more than 70 others!
Science, in fact, is only just beginning to scratch the surface of all that can be cured with stem cells. Many researchers believe that Parkinson's and Alzheimer's may be among them, as well as heart disease, spinal injuries and diabetes. Today, stem cells from cord blood are used mainly for transplants in leukemia patients. As we speak, there are thousands of desperate patients all over the world who await matching donors. Far too many of them die waiting.
You can make a difference. In addition to your beautiful baby, you can give the precious gift of life to someone in the world who needs it desperately. It costs no money and is totally painless and non-invasive – neither your baby nor you are touched in any way.
All you need to do is say "Yes"…
