"HATWALK 2012 Gala" - Please help AACSN spread the word to our community to encourage more people to register as donors. 

"There are many fatal blood cancers that can be treated with bone marrow transplants or blood stem cell donations if a donor and patient's blood stem cells or bone marrow match.

Asian patients need Asian donors.  Half Asian patients need half Asian donors.  The likelihood of a match is very low, but the more people who register as donors, the more chance a life can be saved.

AACSN would like to honor and support the achievements and efforts of the Asian American Donor Program in trying to help save lives by growing the donor registry.
Please join us at HATWALK 2012 and meet the wonderful hearts behind the AADP and learn how you can help save a life!"

Legacy Girls Study

Cancer Prevention Institute of California is currently recruiting daughters ages 6-13 to participate in a 5 year study aimed to look at the genetic and environmental influences on breast cancer. This is a prevention study that aims to follow girls starting from a young age and they need study participants!!!!   They are trying to recruit 100 daughters in the bay area as apart of a national cohort study where the researchers are aiming to follow girls throughout all stages of the pubescent and pre-pubescent life. They focus mainly on genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors that may play a role in why younger and younger women are developing breast cancer. 

Some details: If mother and daughter agree to participate, there will be a female interviewer that will come to their home and 1) she will ask daughter general questions about habits and exercise 2) she will measure their waist, hips, height, weight, and foot size 3) If willing, she will collect a urine and small blood sample. Both mother and daughter will receive gift cards to fun places like TARGET on each visit as an appreciation for your contribution to the study.  And of course- everything is strictly confidential.

Adam's Baton Fund
AACSN learned the passing of a young man named Adam Chang in early 2010. We were deeply touched when we read Adam’s eulogy written by his mother Maria Chen. It moved us so much that the AACSN board decided they wanted 
to start the Adam’s Baton Fund. AACSN wishes  this fund will help patients who want to leave a legacy through funds we set aside to make their last wishes come to true. To contact us on this, please email.
