                       and caught us all by surprise given that he has always been in peak condition.

Drives are currently taking place all around the country, including throughout California, Washington, ! www.helpvinay.org/dp/index.php?q=event. ! Michigan, Illinois, New York and many other states.

Please point your friends to the local drives and ask them to get registered. If you can, sponsor a drive at ! ! your company or in your community. Drives need to take place in the next 2-3 weeks to be of help to Sameer and Vinay.   ! we can achieve broad scale and be part of a large online movement to save lives. !
