Bone Marrow Registry Event Scheduled to Find Donor for Alyssa Cavanaugh

By WKU Sports 10/31/2018, 10:00am CDT

SEE IF YOU'RE A MATCH

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – As former Lady Topper Volleyball All-American Alyssa Cavanaugh continues her battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), WKU Athletics has teamed up with Be The Match and the Cavanaugh family to host a Bone Marrow Donor registry event to find a donor for Alyssa.

Three different WKU teams will take the court four times in E.A. Diddle Arena across a four-day span from Thursday-Sunday this week and WKU Athletics will have Be The Match registry tables set up at every entrance for fans to sign up to help find a donor match for Alyssa.

BONE MARROW DONOR REGISTRY EVENTS:

Thursday – Women's Basketball Exhibition vs. West Virginia State – 6 p.m. CT
Friday – Volleyball vs. FIU – 6 p.m.
Saturday – Men's Basketball Exhibition vs. Kentucky Wesleyan – 2 p.m. CT
Sunday – Volleyball (Senior Day) vs. Florida Atlantic – Noon CT

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Registry tables will be set up by every normal entrance used for each sport's home events in Diddle Arena and will be ready for fans when gates open. The doors for the women's basketball game and the two volleyball matches will open an hour out while the doors for Saturday's event will open at 12:30 p.m. CT. Registry tables will stay open to sign up throughout the duration of each event.

Fans can use their phones to text "Cure154" to 61474 to begin the sign-up process. QR codes will also be posted that fans can scan. Additionally, laptops will be available for anyone that doesn't have a smart phone in hand.

The online registration process takes less than 10 minutes. Once registered, a cheek swab kit will be sent to your address within 3-7 business days. When the kit arrives, swab the inside of your cheek and return it then sit back and wait to be called if you are a match.

DONOR RESTRICTIONS:
Anyone between 18-44 years old is the best donor candidate as research has found donors in this window provide the highest transplant success.

1 IN 430:
About one in every 430 Be The Match Registry members in the United State go on to donate to a patient. WKU Athletics will give a free, red shirt reading "I believe in Alyssa Cavanaugh" and "#Win124" (similar to WKU Volleyball's new warm-ups) to the first 430 individuals that complete the registration process to be a potential donor at this week's events.

LOOKING AT THE STATISTICS:
Seventy percent of patients in need of a bone marrow transplant depend on the Be The Match Registry for a live-saving donor match because only 30 percent of the time is a donor match found within the immediate family. Cavanaugh is among that 70 percent in search of a donor with no matches found in her family.

A patient's likelihood of having a match, available donor on the Be The Match Registry ranges from 76-97 percent depending on race and ethnicity.

IF YOU'RE A MATCH:
Bone marrow can be donated two different ways. The more common approach – used 75-80 percent of the time – is an outpatient procedure similar to donating platelets or plasma. Between 20-25 percent of the time, a surgical, outpatient procedure is used.

MORE INFORMATION:

Alyssa Cavanaugh – a 2017 WKU graduate who was a four-time All-American on the Lady Topper Volleyball team – was been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on Sept. 5, 2018.
Cavanaugh is now undergoing treatment at a facility in her hometown of Louisville, Ky,. as well as a center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
