In fact, about two years ago I was contacted as a possible match. It turned out I was not a match that time, but I hope that one day I will be. I have been a registered donor for many years now.

Neither of us was a match for her but we hope someone, somewhere can use our lymphocytes.

I couldn't register either, due to an autoimmune disorder. What a bummer. Kimberly, you are not alone. I couldn’t register either, due to an autoimmune disorder. What a bummer.

You're truly a saint. A fashionably opinionated saint, but a saint nonetheless. We at Shoeflyer have posted some suggestions for Mother's Day gifts if Manolo is interested. Best, Shoeflyer Manolo, way to support your friends! You’re truly a saint. A fashionably opinionated saint, but a saint nonetheless.

Someday, I hope to get the call that I can actually do something for whomever needs my marrows. I have been on the registry for many years.

You truly are superfantastic. You really are my favorite on my "favorites" list. Your posts always cheer me up beyond measure. I will be sure to make mention of you on our new fundraising site. We are now on a mission to raise a million or more to cure this horrible disease. Oh, and the cheek scraping... not really as bad as it sounds. It's more of a giant Q-tip that is swabbed inside each cheek. Like the action on CSI to catch criminals with DNA samples. Thank you thank you thank you! Oh Manolo! You truly are superfantastic.

That way, it's at no cost to you, and also you only get stuck with one needle. :) If you donate blood, the blood bank can just take an extra couple of vials for the bone marrow registry.

The friends of the Deb will be happy to learn that she recently celebrated her one year anniversary post bone marrow transplant, and that her doctors believe she is cured of her leukemia. She feels fortunate to have a match, and hopes that others can receiving the same blessings. Becoming a member of the bone marrow registry couldn't be easier, but usually there is a cost to be typed. During this Mother's day drive, it is free, and you can get a typing kit by just filling out an online form. Being a donor used to hurt a long time ago, but for most cancers, the donor needs to only donate blood stem cells--a process not much more involved than giving platelets. Tis a miracle, no?
