Could I be a match?

I have always asked myself how I could help out a stranger?...One way I have found very simple is to donate blood....And when I broke my knee I actually needed a blood transfusion after surgery....So, you see it really does help!! Well, over the years I have always had a nagging feeling that I needed to sign up to be a bone marrow donor... For some reason I just really feel that if I get on a list I would be a match for someone one day.... I feel like this illness is going to hit close to home in some way... friend or family?... And after having Lucas I have thought about it more and more. So, yesterday I decided to look up what it takes to be on the donor list. There are different bone marrow drives all through out GA. All I will have to do is go to one of the drives and give a blood sample and answer some health questions.. then bam you are on the list!! You have to be in between the ages of 18-60...I was under the impression that it is extremely painful to donate marrow, but these days you are put to sleep...They can even get the marrow from you blood. So, I called Mark to see what he thought and he said it was a awesome idea. He said we would both get on the list. I may not be a match for someone, but even if there is a small possibility that I could help save someones life it is worth it. I think of my sweet Lucas...What if he needed a transplant one day? Would a stranger be willing to help my son? If you are interested in getting more info go to www.marrow.org. You never know if this could be your family. Love to all!!
