Join the bone marrow registry; save this man's life

One other thing. Even if you're not likely to match him, it's worth pointing out there are a ton of people of every race and national origin still out there, waiting for their match!

Join the bone marrow registry; save this man's life

Unfortunately, I don't know. You might start with a call to LMH or the Lawrence Douglas County Health Department to see if they have one coming up. Or maybe Belinda or Lisa will see this and give us all an answer!

Join the bone marrow registry; save this man's life

He's South Indian, so they're going through all of the hospitals in India looking for matches, but unfortunately India has no national database, so it's hard to find that needle in the haystack. Anyone of South Asian descent has the highest likelihood of being a match. I'm not a doctor though, so unfortunately I don't know how often there are matches across race and ethincities.

OCTOBER 2-8, 2011 is Mental Illness Awareness Week

Good luck with this Lauren. It's a very worthy cause. And I'll be thinking of everyone at the Nash Dash & Bash this year. I had such a good time last year; wish I could make it this go-round.

Strawberries, Ice Cream and Beer, Oh My!

Wow, Linda, I've rushed past your farmer's market several times on my daily run, but I've never stopped. This post, however, has me pretty well convinced to stop by tomorrow. Looks great!
