Back in 1999 I was driving in Fremont, CA and noticed a large banner for a young girl needing a bone marrow transplant holding a registration drive. I figured it a good idea and pulled over, signed up and gave them some blood to test. Unfortunately, I've no idea what happened to that young lady, she was and is a total stranger. Every once in a while the donor matching people send me an email asking if I'm still here. This morning I get one informing me that a doctor has chosen me as a possible match for a patient! Nothing definite yet and my chance of being the final donor apparently is 1 in 12. The procedure does not sound like fun but I really hope I can do it to help someone that need it.

You made my day man
I lose a little bit of hope everyday for humanity, then I read something like this and am filled with hope.
My hats off to you Sir, once again
Thank you brother.
Thank you

Thanks, I feel very excited to be even this close to helping. However, the world that is described would have a serious snus shortage so I'd have to pass, too.

No GN, just really excited. To be truthful I have broken one of my personal guidelines in speaking publicly about this matter. Having slept on it, I really wish I hadn't.
