Assemblyman Keith L. Wright-A11610 Jaden’s Law-New York 


Assemblyman Keith L. Wright introduced Jaden’s Law New York on June 30, 2010. Jaden’s Law New York is an act 
to amend the public health law, in relation to providing for the creation and dissemination of information pertaining to 
bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell donation; to amend the public health law, the election law and the vehicle 
and traffic law, in relation to bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell donation registration. 


Preserve Our Legacy, Inc. (P.O.L.) 


P.O.L’s mission is to educate individuals, especially minorities, about the benefits of stem cells and treatment options 
they provide for health disparities. In 2006, the founders of MMA, Brett and Shana Melius met then 2-year old Jaden 
Hilton. At the time, Jaden was battling Leukemia, which inspired MMA to begin working with DKMS to find a donor 
for Jaden. Despite their efforts, Jaden lost his battle with Leukemia on January 29, 2007. In an effort to fulfill the 
mission of educating minorities, Jaden’s Law was created. Jaden’s Law was established in New Jersey on May 20, 
2010. P.O.L partners with various organizations to increase awareness within the community.
