How to cheer on CancerFree2003 and encourage EVERYONE to become a registered bone marrow donor by angniks

"I'll still continue to do this. Both cheer CancerFree2003, and encourage everyone to register to be a bone marrow donor, but I'll mark it as done."

How I did it: I registered to be a bone marrow donor through the Air Force base, but blood banks and hospitals can get you registered too.  They just swab the inside of your cheeks, seal it up, and you fill out some paper work.  Then if anyone is ever a match, they'll call you.  At that point you can decide to go through with the transplant or not, but I know if I am ever called that I will.
I lost a good friend to leukemia, so this is important to me.

    Simon. instead of making me search all over 43T, Facebook, gmail…

    I've taken the first step. 9 months ago

    I’ve requested info packs, questionnaires, forms and leaflets from both The National Blood Service and The Anthony Nolan Trust, the UK’s biggest and best known donor programs.

    angniks had a nice birthday...thank you :)

    It only takes a few minutes. 12 months ago

    They swab your cheeks, and seal it up, and you give them info, so they can contact you if there’s ever someone who’s a match. To find out more, you can look here
