Laugh for Lives was started as an inspiration from Alan Maravilla – who’s cousin, Francis Agana passed away from Leukemia because he could not find a matching donor. Through this event, Alan hoped to raise awareness about the need for more Asian participation in the registry and to sign up more potential donors.

AADP is a community non-profit organization dedicated to helping save the lives of patients with Leukemia, Lymphoma and other blood diseases that are curable by an adult stem cell transplant. AADP outreaches to the Asian American, Pacific Islander and Multi-Racial communities to raise awareness about the critical need for more API donors in the national registry. As of today, only 30-40% of all Asian leukemia patients will find a donor match for their transplant, simply because there are so few Asians registered as potential donors. To find out more, go to www.aadp.org.
