Help! My good friend's girlfriend is looking for a blood marrow donor. I apologize for abusing the site, but my friend has been working his ass off getting the word out.[More:]Here's info on how to help. Apparently a match is likely to come from someone of ethnic minority descent (especially Asian)--if you fit that profile you can order a free test kit by mail.

There are also donor drive events scheduled in a bunch of cities.

If you know any one that might be able to help, or just want to spread the word, please forward along this info. If you want some Word doc fliers to send along, please email me for those (mullacc at gmail dot com).
I'm not of the right heritage, I'm sorry. I am on the list of possible donors already, though. I will pass on the info anyway - good luck!!!

I'm in the National Marrow Donor Program. If you donate blood, most centers have all the registration forms right there and can send in the kit for you.

Huh. I might be able to help, and I'll spread the word as well.

I've signed up for a kit - been meaning to do so for a while. Best of luck :)

I'm signed up! I wish someone wanted my marrow. Alas, no one has yet.
