Christopher's
Challengeong> is named in honor of Christopher Costello, a young man
from Webster, New York, who was suffering from leukemia and in need of a bone
marrow transplant. In order to increase the number of people in the Bone Marrow
Registry and find suitable bone marrow donors, Christopher's Challenge was
established. Through Christopher's Challenge, the initial blood testing saw
over 1000 people from the Rochester community added to the National Marrow Donor
Program.

Christopher's Challenge is a charitable fund established in 1998
in order to continue the lifesaving work of bone marrow transplants. The
purpose of the fund is to pay for the typing of samples for individuals willing
to become potential donors through the National Marrow Donor Program, as well as
other costs associated with bone marrow transplants.
