Hello!

I’m working with Gift of Life Marrow Registry to raise money for this year’s Steps for Life Virtual 5k! Would you please help me? I’d love to have your support in raising funds and awareness for this organization that helped extend my brother Michael's life and bought us some more time and joy. Not only did this organization help my family, but Gift of Life strives to increase the racial and ethnic diversity in the potential donor pool so more folks can find life-saving matches. 

Gift of Life holds a special place in my heart and I do hope that you can support me!

To support my campaign by donating, please click the orange Donate Now button on the right side of the page.

Online registration is easy – it only takes a few minutes! To do so, please click the white Register For This Event button on the right side of the page. As a completely virtual event, you can participate from anywhere!

For more details about the event, please visit www.giftoflife.org/virtual5k. You can also email me at alexxbarton16@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Thank you – I hope to see you out there walking or running! 

For Michael Barton...my dear brother who passed away on May 17th, in his honor! Michael had a bone marrow and stem cell transplant, and both extended his life. Gift of Life changed our life and I know it can change countless others. Especially for those who cannot as easily find matches as Michael did.
