I just registered with DKMS. They will be sending me a simple kit where I will take a cheek swab and enter into their national database. From there, I can be matched with people who have leukemia and potentially save a life. 1 in 200 people are ever called upon to donate marrow, so the odds are it will never happen, but if it does it would make a huge difference in the life of the person I help. I'm sure it will make a difference in my life too, knowing that I gave that person a second chance. It's free but it costs $65 to run the swab, so they appreciate donations as well.
