Five years ago today our very good friends lost their little boy Trevor Austin Kott to AML – Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He was 6 months old. If he had a bone marrow match he may have survived this horrible disease. He had a rare blood type and there was never any bone marrow match for him.
I urge you, if you are not swabbed, get swabbed! It is not painful. It is simply a Q-tip that is swabbed across the inside of your cheek. It is then put into a national registry and if you are a match, you will be called upon to donate bone marrow and possibly save a life.
For great information on bone marrow donation including where to get swabbed in your area, visit www.bethematch.com.
Until next time, the mothership is signing off.
Howdy! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out
and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading your blog posts.
Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same subjects?
Thank you!
