DKMS

:only a life lived for others is worth living:

-albert einstein

maybe some of you know that I recently was swabbed.

you heard it right, swabbed.

after hearing a story about a little boy (right here in utah), who desperately needs a bone marrow transplant, I got online and contacted DKMS.

I didn't put any thought into it.

this was something I knew I had to do.

Q: why is there a need for people to sign-up as bone marrow donors? you may ask.
A: thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases depend on finding matching donors who can save their life. patients need donors who are a close genetic match. even with a registry of millions, 6 out of 10 patients NEVER receive the lifesaving transplant they need.  donors of all ethnicities are needed if we are going to change this.

I have thought about doing this before in the past with other organizations.

but, I'm not going to lie, the $60 charge just to be put into the registry turned me off.

that may sound horrible, but it's true.

with DKMS, they let ANYONE register.

no money needed.

funny thing is.

I willing donated the cost of the swab.

maybe it's because no one was forcing me.

I don't know.

but I was happy to.

but what I do know, is that you should all get swabbed!

don't waste time!

you could be the only piece missing in a child's road to recovery!
