National Bone Marrow Registry
I am a registered bone marrow donor--to register, all I had to do was go to get my blood taken, and they screened it. The process was very easy--which makes it sadder that more people aren't in the registry. My health insurance will pay for all transplant-related costs if I am selected as a donor, and most major policy holders will as well. Schools and employers will often award paid vacation for the time it takes to just to go in for the blood screening.
