Salman Khan announced his support to Marrow Donor Registry India (MDRI) through his Being Human foundation at Hotel Taj Lands End on Saturday, November 13. He was dressed in faded jeans, Being Human black Tee, leather biker jacket and black dress shoes. He cheerfully posed with little children and the MDRI staff, squatting on floor. During the speeches Salman stole a moment to sketch.
Healthcare is one of the focus areas of Salman's charity. With this initiative the charity will help generate awareness on how marrow donors can save lives of patients suffering from blood cancer, thalassemia, aplastic anemia, congenital immunodeficiency states and other such blood related diseases. 
The aim of the initiative is to develop a large pool of voluntary marrow donors. Salman Khan said, "Donating marrow is a simple act, it's as simple as donating blood. But this simple act can save the life of someone suffering from blood cancer, thalassemia and other major blood-related diseases. I am pledging my marrow today with MDRI so that in an emergency, if a patient's sample matches mine, I can be reached to donate my marrow. The more the donors, the more lives we save. So I urge that all of you who are blessed with good health come forward and pledge your marrow so that the less fortunate can benefit from this thoughtful act."
