I never was until this happened to our family. Good for you to pass the word about bone marrow. You Make me SMILE :) Aurelia

Life is so precious and it's a blessing when you can share the gift of life with another. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the good news. We lost my wife's sister recently because we couldn't find a donor match.

Until the marrow drive I had never considered being a donor, hopefully others will get on the list and possibly make a difference in someone's life, Bless you

I too, am a donor and its listed on my license and my hubby and family know how strongly I feel...I even inspired my hubby to become a donor recently too. Kudos to you!

If there are other means please let me know.

Not sure about it costing $ in the US. Try this http://www.marrow.org/ the National Bone Marrow Registry to see when they might be doing a drive in your area.
