Today I finally registered to be a bone marrow donor. I've been wanting to do this for years and just never did it. From now until June 22, you can register for FREE at www.marrow.org. Normally it's $55 to register. Please urge your friends and family to register. There are so many people waiting for a match.
This also hits close to home because my bother, Paul, (I talked about him below) had Leukemia. It's something easy everyone can do to save a life.
Speaking of being a donor...I have also chosen to be an organ donor since I was 16 years old. Organ donation is so very important, too! You can easily register at www.donatelife.org.
I recently knew of a 24 year old male that died in a freak accident. His family kept him on life support for one day and then decided to take him off so that his organs could be donated. This is such a special gift. I applaud his family for making that very difficult decision.
Life is precious. Give the gift of life.
