HISTORICAL BILL
NJ BILL 2168 JADEN’S LAW
New York, N.Y.-(May 20, 2010)- It was announced today that New Jersey Bill A2168 Jaden’s Law was confirmed by the General Assembly of the State of New Jersey voting 78-0.
Jaden Hilton
In April 2006, Jaden Hilton was 2 years old and diagnosed with acute leukemia. His parents were advised that he needed a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. They immediately were tested. After several test they were not a match nor was their older son, Trey. Therefore, he needed an unrelated donor within the National Registry. Unfortunately, for Jaden there was only 8% available for African-Americans in the National Registry. Due to the lack of increase of registered African-American donors, Jaden died at 3-years old on January 29, 2007.

A few weeks after graduation, he was diagnosed with leukemia and to help to cure this disease he needed a bone marrow transplant. No one in his family was a matched, therefore, he needs to find an unrelated donor. Due to the lack of minorities in the National Marrow Registry, there is presently no available donor.
