Sign up to be a bone marrow donor

I received an email from Dana-Farber today, and they're spotlighting the need for bone marrow donors. I signed up several years ago -- it's a very simply blood test, and your record goes into a bank that is culled daily for those in need. While I haven't been called to donate, I've heard from others that the marrow collection is a relatively simple, although somewhat uncomfortable process -- but imagine saving someone's life just because you have similar genetics!
