for the holidays, i've decided to join the bone marrow registry. it's extremely easy - the bone marrow people send you a packet in the mail, you swab your cheek and send in the samples. they contact you when there's a potential match. if this is something that interests you, you should check out the Be the Match Registry at marrow.org
Every year, 10,000 patients need a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor, but only half receive one.
