Chantelle's Promise was created in 2008 by Chantelle Chornoby.

Her goal was to recruit more aboriginal donors to the One Match program so that aboriginas in need of bone marrow or stem cell transplants would have a better hope of finding a match.

Her grandmother Edna Chornoby tell us more:

"With the one match, we got 2 people the gift of life. My own niece gave a bone marrow and she saved a family and Brent Osborne from Norway House gave a swab and he gave the gift of life. That's why she started Chantelle's promise... just to give hope to everybody"

Currently less than one per cent of those on the One Match network are identified as aboriginal.

A registration swab event will be held at this year's Relay for Life on April 18th at the TRCC.
