Bone marrow and ethnicity?

I am a woman of half Eastern Band Cherokee and half Irish ancestry. Would there be a chance at all of my being a bone marrow donor match for a friend of mine who is Southern Italian? While I know ethnicity is a main deciding factor, I'm curious as to the actual odds of that happening. He needs a match of 8 out of 10 antigens.

    Highly unlikely, but strange things sometimes happen.
