Alright, I just found out about this, and I know it’s a bit late (the promotion ends on the 21st), but it takes all of 5 minutes to do online and you could be saving someone’s life:
Because I’m an idiot and shoved a bunch of things into an “action” folder, I’ve almost missed telling you about this:
From May 7 to May 21 you can sign up to be on the national bone marrow registry for free (usually it is about $50-75 unless you sign up at a marrow drive). And they are making it VERY easy- they send you the entire kit in the mail and it only involves swabbing your cheek with a Q-tip, signing some forms, and sending it back. Most people stay on the list and never hear from them for their entire lives but by being on it you could potentially save the life of a child/adult with a bone marrow disease like leukemia.
If you are interested go to the website: www.marrow.org and click on the “Thanks Mom” icon.
Joe’s cousin John sent this to me. Get signed up and get active… please! Headed there right now myself.
Got this from the Wingin’ It guys, and it’s a good thing to do, I just signed up as a donor myself.
