Be The Match

The National Bone Marrow Registry is holding their annual Marrowthon from June 8-22, 2009. During this time, you can register to be donor for free! I registered a few years ago and paid $65 so this is a great deal! I don't know anyone that has had a marrow transplant, nor do I know anyone that has ever donated, but after reading up on the program I knew it was something I wanted to do. If you are so inclined, please check it out at Be The Match. You could save a life!

I joined the Marrowthon and I passed it around at work and to my family and friends via Facebook. I bet they will run out in no time!

I'm already in the bank and actually got called in once as a possible match... it was exciting for me to possibly be able to save someone's life! Turns out there was a closer match out there.... but once you're in the bank... I think you're in forever!
