A week ago I had the opportunity to give a little swab of my mouth. I had the chance to possibly help same a life. I joined a list of names to help others out, the National Marrow Donor Program.
In a previous post - that you can find here - I talked about a good friend of mine from NYC who's niece, Nora, was in need of a bone marrow transplant. They had been looking for a match for about 9 months. After much searching a match was found! She will be having her transplant later this month!You can find her whole story here.
I'm not one for needles, but have been thinking about donating blood. My husband use to donate plasma on a regular basis. Seems like an easy something to do to give, and we all have some to spare. What about you? Are you a donor of some kind? Giving to others that are in need? I would love to hear!
Make sure to check out Noras story, and if there is a drive in your area, why not stop by, you never know, you might be a match for someone!
