For Trish.....

I didn't have that much personal contact with Trish...only an email, and whatever comments we left on each other's blogs, but just by reading her blog I could tell that she was a very genuine, spiritual, caring, and thoughtful person.
In memory of Trish and with the hope of being able to help someone else going through what she went through I signed up today to be a Bone Marrow Donor. It was quick and painless just a couple of swabs in the mouth and you are finished, hopefully I can be used to help someone get through these things that take so many people from their families every day. I was told while there that a bone marrow donation may have saved Ed Bradley (from 60 Minutes)who passed away in November due to complications from Chronic lymphocytic leukemia. I was also told that out of 6,293,713 bone marrow donors nationwide, only 413,597 are Black. We need more Black donors people !! I encourage you to encourage someone to encourage someone else to be tested as a donor.
Bone Marrow and Stem Cell donations help people who have treatable leukemia, lymphoma, numerous blood diseases, and more. To learn more about National Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Registration Program, visit www.marrow.org.
Be Easy and as Trish always said "Stay Close"....1
