Description

The Love Hope Strength Foundation(LHS), which recently set a Guinness record for the highest concert recorded on land, is teaming up with the world’s largest marrow donor center, DKMS and Driving for Donors(lead by the dynamic 12 year-old, Pat Pedraja), to set a record for most bone marrow registrations at a music event. The group hopes to dispel the myths that bone marrow donation is risky and believes through education and a very quick registration process, the Mile High Music Festival will serve as an ideal setting to reduce the number of unneeded deaths due to unmatched recipients. Festival goers can stop by the Love Hope Strength Foundation booth to register, which requires only a cheek swab and completion of a donor consent form. LHS will also be accepting names for a prayer flag that will be hiked to Machu Picchu, Peru as part of the largest cancer awareness event in Peruvian history in October 2008.
