Build Yourself Some Good Karma


Ok so we just established that we all need some upbeat in our lives, but how about some good karma? If you are my friend on any sort of social media (e-mail, twitter, facebook etc) you are aware that I am currently campaigning for people to get their cheeks swabbed to check for the opportunity to donate bone marrow. So why would you donate bone marrow? We all know that it is pretty painful, but what about the outcome? For starters, that chances that you will be a DNA mach to a stranger are obscenely small, only 2 in 10 patients in need of bone marrow will ever get it (this includes from siblings I believe). So that means that your chances of getting called as a stranger are very, VERY small. And if you do get that call? Are you willing to have a needle stuck into your bone? Wouldn't you want a stranger to do that for your child, sibling, niece, nephew, friend, etc? I am both shocked and horrified that people are so unwilling to participate. So if you think that you are willing to do something selfless between now and yor 61st birthday, please follow this link:
