National Bone Marrow Registry (Free to Join during January)
http://marrow.org/Home.aspx
I'm on the national bone barrow registry and there's not nearly enough people on the registry to reliably provide a match for people who need marrow, but I usually don't bother trying to push people to sign up because it unfortunately costs money to sign up. (in my case a year or so ago, my employer paid the lab fees for anyone in our company who wanted to do the cheek swab and sign up) However, apparently American Express is going to pay the lab fee for anyone who orders a kit to join the registry during the month of January, so temporarily it looks like its free for another couple weeks. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, follow the link and click "join the registry". You might never be contacted, or perhaps years down the road some hospital will call you to say you are the only match for someone. Last edited by alnorth; 01-14-2012 at 02:00 AM.. |
