You just swab some q-tips on the inside of your cheek, stick them in an envelope and mail them back. It does have a small costs but I know at certain times of the year, the kit is free of charge. All the same, the cost is really small when you consider that you could save someone's life.<br /><br />Like Charlotte, I'm still waiting to be called. <br /><br />Thank you for this. With so much bad news out there these days, it is good to read something about making positive impact.hockeychichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166959347224883175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726155289174009392.post-86040997575963885682011-03-30T12:41:52.619-07:002011-03-30T12:41:52.619-07:00You're an inspiration -- thanks for the links....You're an inspiration -- thanks for the links.Pretty Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285473788765783338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726155289174009392.post-23133788621233033092011-03-29T13:22:02.155-07:002011-03-29T13:22:02.155-07:00I have chosen you for The Versatile Blogger Award....I have chosen you for The Versatile Blogger Award.

Even though I have asthma and diabetes I am able to help. It was just a simple questionnaire and the kit was free. They do not push you to donate. I simply can not believe how easy it was to register. Such a simple thing that can save a persons life. Most times to donate is simply an IV. Imagine something as simple as a few IVs to help another. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to this Baldy and I hope others can register as well.Sew What's New Fabric Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300109276927903373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726155289174009392.post-8088098329081037152011-03-26T14:29:23.494-07:002011-03-26T14:29:23.494-07:00I'm happy to pass this post around for ya.

We aim to educate all 16-18 year olds about how straightforward it is to donate. Here in the UK there are two options, obviously both will be searched by the worldwide register, should a patient need a match. If you are a regular blood donor you can join up next time you donate blood:<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.blood.co.uk" rel="nofollow">www.blood.co.uk</a><br /><br />...or if you simply want to be tissue-typed as a potential bone marrow / stem cell donor, you can join the Anthony Nolan charity's register by giving a saliva sample:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.anthonynolan.org" rel="nofollow">www.anthonynolan.org</a><br /><br />You just never know who you may be helping. A friend of mine actually donated his stem cells, through being hooked up to a machine like you describe, to a stranger. Two years on, after the period of confidentiality lapsed, this guy sent a card and got in touch to say "thank you". They will soon meet!<br /><br />xxxxCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757158618882298869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726155289174009392.post-84719862510074082402011-03-26T11:59:24.566-07:002011-03-26T11:59:24.566-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757158618882298869noreply@blogger.com
