This is something I have always said I would sign up for and then never have. Now with Allison being sick and likely needing a marrow transplant I've registered. Please consider registering ... it could literally save a life. Do it for Allison if nothing else.
If you join before June 22nd your registration fee ($100) will be waived as there is a promotion now to get 49,000 new registrants! Just use promo code Hopemarrowthon09. It will take only a few minutes of your time to register online and then a kit will be sent to your house. Once the kit arrives you will swab your mouth for cells and then send it back in. It's that easy!!!

Re: Be a bone marrow donor!
I think it's great to be a donor! However, I don't understand why they want marrow donors, yet they charge you $100.00 to be one? I've never heard of being charged to donate anything outside of money.
ETA: is it for the cost of the kit and fees to mail it, etc?
