Be the Match

Something that both Eric and I did recently was join the bone marrow registry. We had both read online about a young artist who was diagnosed with cancer and struggling to find a match because he was ethnically from Southeast Asia. Even though neither of us would likely be a match, we both thought that it couldn't hurt to join since people are constantly looking for matches.

It was very easy. We filled out a registration form online and after a quick questionnaire, all we had to do was wait for our packets to show up with the cheek swabs. Then we swabbed our cheeks for skin cells, put them back in the packet, and sent them back in. Now, we just wait to be contacted if we match someone. Very simple.

I highly encourage you to join us!
