I recently saw a news report where a whole college football all got their bone marrow tested to see if they were a match. It ended up that one of the most important tight ends was an exact match for a gentleman that lived on the other side of the country. He ended up sitting out the rest of the season. To keep a long story short he saved the mans life. Giving bone marrow is no walk in the park but the story really touched me. Why couldn't more of us do such a wonderful thing? How rewarding would that be? You can give all the money in the world to charities but can you always save a life?
So tonight I went on this website www.marrow.org and registered myself. All you have to do is answer a few questions and they send you a kit to swab your cheeks for your DNA. You can also donate to the site as well.
What do you think?
