For more info on blood and bone marrow donation, check out the National Marrow Donor Program at http://www.marrow.org
Most people are not as fortunate as the man in the article--most die waiting for donors because no one with an HLA match has volunteered to enter the NMDP. This is especially the case with ethnic minorities who may have rare tissue types.
So PLEASE check it out and consider becoming a potential donor!
