I've been on the registry to be a bone marrow donor since 1996. Especially as an ethnically mixed person, it's super important because there are fewer minority registrants, and it's much harder for a mixed person needing a donor to find a match. Back in 1996, I got free tests done as a campaign to get mixed folk in the registry. I've been very diligent of always updating my information so they can track me down should the need arise.
They just started a new campaign, updating their website, etc. It can save a life, and your marrow can be replenished. If you haven't, please join.
