The Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation: giftoflife.org, are able to supply the cheek swab test kits for bone marrow drives, whereas the Canadian OneMatch.ca, does not supply kits for events, and instead requires that all test kits be mailed. So in order to have a bone marrow drive, the Grossman family have to purchase cheek swab test kits to be used at that event (Canadian health insurance does not apply to American health products).
