On October 9th, I learned something new. I learned that you can register with the bone marrow registry to be a possible donor. I didn’t even know this was something I could do until reading about Amit Gupta who is the founder of Photojojo. Amit was diagnosed with Leukemia and now is waiting to find a match for a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately his ethnicity is severely under-represented in the registry. Though I’m not of South Asian descent I knew I wanted to sign up. The opportunity to possibly save someone’s life? Yes.
I received my kit from Be the Match on Friday and immediately went through the process so I could mail it back. I hope you’ll consider joining as well. I’d love to hear if do decide to to join.
