Ashley Dyer finishes her registration process while Shataun Smith swabs her mouth for the National Marrow Donor Registry on Friday, January 18, 2013. Smith's son, Doricus McBride, is battling severe aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow donor. In December, doctors gave him three months to live if no donor is found. Michigan Blood held the registry drive for its Marrow/Stem Cell Program in order to register more minorities and to find a match for McBride.
