My Birthday Wish: Update — image 1

Hi there internet,

I wanted to provide an update on my Birthday Wish to get 300 people to join (slash donate to) the Be the Match registry.

I’m currently at less than 10 people … with about a million people telling me that they’d love to do it.

I’ve been meaning to write an update to my original request but I wasn’t quite sure what to say honestly. What could I be adding to my original birthday wish?

I’ll save for my thoughts for a future posting and instead leave you with this timely video from the news tonight. In the words of Anita, her bone marrow donor took her chances at survival from 5% to 95%.

Like I said a few weeks ago, joining the bone marrow registry is the easiest thing I’ve ever done. It was certainly easier than giving up bacon for Lent – which I’ll admit has been tougher than it was last year.

After you order your kit, just fill out this form I made. I want to be able to see how well we are doing :).

And that’s it.

And to those people that I’ve talked to about the registry, you have about a month to join before I start Facebook poking you until you do it. 

Much love.
