A few months ago, there was a bone marrow registry drive at school. I went with two friends and within a few minutes, we had filled out paperwork, swabbed our cheeks with Q-tips and become part of the National Marrow Donor Program. I may never have known about it if it wasn't for one friend's personal connection to the cause.
I just got my official membership card in the mail this week confirming that I was part of the registry. I may not ever be a match for someone, but it's a powerful thing to know that I could help someone who really needs it someday.
There is always a need for more potential bone marrow donors. Click here for info on joining the registry.
