Bone Marrow Drive!

My friend Heidi blogged about this, and I think it's more than worth the space on our blog as well. I just did it, and it really only took a couple minutes, even with Katy constantly interrupting me. It's definitely worth your time & effort!

One more (very important) thing

One of my online friends made me aware of a bone marrow drive being sponsored by the NASCAR Foundation that will cover the costs associated with tissue typing, ordinarily $52. If you meet the donor eligibility criteria, you can send away for the kit between now and the 22nd of September. All that is required is a very simple and painless cheek swab sample to get you on the bone marrow donor registry. Please do it. I cannot think of a better way to spend 5 minutes. You could save a life.
