Why YOU are so important as a bone marrow donor?
 Every 10 minutes blood cancer takes a life.
 Leukemia is the most common disease children and young adults in the U.S die of,
and a bone marrow transplant may be their only chance for survival.
 Only 4 out of every 10 patients will receive the transplant that could save their lives.

What is my commitment if I register?
You:
 Will also be listed on the Be The Match Registry® (operated by the NMDP) until your 61st
birthday, unless you ask to be removed.
 Will consider donating to any searching patient who needs a bone marrow transplant.

How do I become a bone marrow donor?
 You need to be between the ages of 18 and 55 years old and meet the eligibility
requirements and understand your commitment.
 You need to complete a registration form.
 You need to swab your cheeks using a cotton-tipped swab to collect cheek cells
which will identify your HLA tissue-type.

That's sad that something this real and actually means something only has 6 comments. Hope for the best for these kids. And if you can become a bone marrow doner. It doesn't hurt you at all and is a very easy process.
