How to Be a Bone Marrow Donor

First of all, right now, it's FREE to be tested and listed to be a bone marrow donor. I recently did this and paid $52, I think it was, so it's not much, but if cost is your stumbling block, it's been removed for about the next week.

From June 8-22, it's free to sign up to be a donor (while funding still remains to cover it).

If not knowing how to do it is your stumbling block, it's really very easy.

1. Confirm you meet basic registry guidelines.
2. Complete the online form and order your registration kit. This step will take about 30 minutes.
3. Follow the instructions in your kit to collect a swab of cheek cells and return the kit in the postage prepaid envelope.

That's it!
