Organ donor and I'm a registered bone marrow donor, too. </p> <p>If anyone is interested, you can sign up at bethematch.org</p> <p>Particular, they are always looking for minorities (Asians, Latino, African Americans) to join. In the registry, they said only 7% classify themselves as as Asian, 10% are Latino/Hispanic and 7% are African American. </p> <p>I know bone marrow donation can be painful but I figure people with cancer have been through a lot more pain than I will ever be. I think I can be sore for a few days to help save a person's life.</p> <p>It's really easy to register. Go to the site and they send you a kit with a cotton swab. Ship it off and you are now entered. You don't do any invasive procedures until a match is found. Which could be years to find a match. </p> <p>I'm still waiting for call to save someone's life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-organ-donor#post-1262514 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:42:10 +0000 Dandelion 1262514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!</p> <p>I wanted to donate anything from S, but it wasn't possible, giving the circumstances. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-organ-donor#post-1262476 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:36:08 +0000 BabyMats 1262476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-an-organ-donor#post-1262464 Thu, 05 Dec 2013 13:34:00 +0000 MaisyMay 1262464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I just did a mouth swab at a church drive several years ago.
