All it takes is filling out a couple of forms and a painless cheek swab to get added to the database. You might end up saving the life of someone who desperately needs a transplant and doesn't have a family member who is a suitable match.<BR/><BR/>Check out www.marrow.org for more information. The tissue typing kit to join costs $52, but I was able to do it for free through an event at my university last year.E.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05595667311126848588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-28371460865668331772009-01-14T22:57:00.000-05:002009-01-14T22:57:00.000-05:00I had a friend like this in 5th grade, too.

She passed away over the summer that year from cancer.<BR/><BR/>Now, I work in cancer research and it is difficult to see the sick pediatric patients. I always think, 'she is my daughter's age. I could not image the things they go through both patient and family'. <BR/><BR/>You donation means a great deal in helping to find a cure or better treatment methods. Your rememberence of your friend and donation was a really neat gesture.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328559180119835296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1233623794741521754.post-72070673725634652312009-01-14T22:30:00.000-05:002009-01-14T22:30:00.000-05:00Excellent job on the donation.
