I became a member during a bone marrow drive 15 years ago when a little boy at my school needed a BMT. I just called to confirm and I'm still on the active list...Everybody please sign up and become a member if you have not already done so. This is very important and very easy to do!

John, It is easy and FREE...It could save somebodies life....Like mine.or 1000's of others looking for a chance to live out a full life. We are going to the local one, but I'll probaly not get a swab done...Cuz I have very little Bone marrow that is working.
Please go and do this as a FAVOR for me, okay?
