Blood Cord Banking via Cryo-Cell International Offers Help for Haiti


This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Cryo-Cell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you aren't already familiar with the benefits of umbilical blood cord banking, allow me this opportunity to provide you with just enough information to tweak your curiosity and genuine appreciation for this life saving program..

The blood found in the umbilical cord just after birth is normally discarded as medical waste, but did you know that it holds potential life saving stem cells? In fact, over the last few years doctors have been able to use stem cells obtained from  cord blood in the place of bone marrow transplants, which by the way are incredibly painful. The stem cells from the umbilical cord are a perfect match for your baby... throughout the course of his or her life. No need to hunt for a suitable donor should they need stem cells! Should they ever undergo chemo or radiation treatment they may need those stem cells to repair their immune system. What a gift!

Ok, but what does any of this have to do with Haiti? The good people at Cryo-Cell will donate $25 from each new blood cord enrollment to the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund”. So, while you invest in your child's future health, you'll also be adding to the much needed relief efforts taking place in Haiti. Two great reasons to pat yourself on the back. It's ok... you deserve it!

To learn more about Cryo-Cell International and umbilical blood cord banking, be sure to visit their site today. If you have a pregnant friend or family member, consider gifting them an enrollment into this program, or make it a group gift at a baby shower. What a wonderful and likely unexpected gift this will be! Take a look and enroll now!

Thanks for your time. I sincerely hope you'll take a look and learn more. You'll be glad you did, even if just for the peace of mind. I can think of no greater insurance than the gift of life saving stem cells.
