How you can impact the battle against Leukemia today-one human being at a time

Amit got a 10/10 match, and starts transplant treatment soon! Prayers and thanks to God. Hoping he can celebrate the 5 yr mark battling Leukemia. Have you joined the registry? It takes less than 2 hours of your time to register, then follow the kit instructions received by mail. If you are a match, donation is fairly painless and for the inconvenience another human being battling Lukemia has a fighting chance.

Legacy leaves faintly a trail, for those who will follow the fading glow of those who have gone before us.


Takes about an hour to read the medical guidelines and fill out the info form to get a testing kit to get on the bone marrow registry.
Donating  Bone Marrow is comparable to donating blood, it is not over invasive and not considered painful.  How lucky if you came up a match for someone else. 


This is the kind of gambling I could recommend whole heartedly.

Get on the Bone Marrow Registry-Do it today!

Why not? 


 If you are on the list then:

1. You are between the ages of 18 and 60 and have your health to be thankful for, and managed well enough, even if you have diabetes, ADHD or some other condition.  
2. You are willing to donate your bone marrow if you are a match for someone who desperately needs it. 
3. You are part of a compassionate solution. Today's technology can match people from one side of the planet to another.  

The links below are for Amit Gupta's story and for the bone marrow registry and the blog post fro Seth Godin about this.  If you are south Asia, please do not delay.
