Bet this isn't a common NSV

Today, I was finally able to register with Be The Match . Org to be a bone marrow donor. I tried to do it a couple of years ago, and was declined due to my BMI being too high. I just hit my 50 pound weight loss milestone this week and it dawned on me that I probably made their requirements now. YESSSSSSS!!! Seems kind of silly, but I've wanted to do this for so long and now I have!!!

Note, there is a charge to do this, but I highly recommend joining, too!!!

This does not seem silly at all. I just want to say thank you for wanting to be a bone marrow donor! In January my dad got a bone marrow transplant. He was blessed to have a twin brother to be hos donor. Without the transplant he had about a year to live. It is an extremely emotional and difficult journey. The waiting process for a donor can be very long and difficult. So THANK YOU SO MUCH. You will change someones life Also congrats on losing 50 pounds!

Love this NSV. I've been on the registery for about 2 years and I completely took for granted that I could join it! You've helped me realize that not everyone has that ability. I applaud you and your efforts! Win-Win as someone else said!

Thank you! I, too, had assumed all could do it. Boy was it a punch in the gut when I couldn't.

thanks again....EVERYONE!!!
