You can save a life. It's easy to donate. Call your local red cross or hospital.

BTW, donating marrow is supposedly painless and NOT painful. You get a sedative. Ask about that too. The internet is full of rumors.

I offered once or twice in the past and they were at capacity. I always remembered that as being weird. I never expected to be turned away.

Go figure. They have more rules than I thought. They do turn away a lot of people, but they still need a lot of donors. |
