101 Things in 1001 Days.: 16. Join the Bone Marrow Donor Registry.

16. Join the Bone Marrow Donor Registry.

UPDATE: My registration kit came in the mail the other day and I needed to take mouth swabs and send them back. There were 4 sterile q-tip things, as well as a biohazard sticker, 4 barcode stickers and package to mail them back in. I needed to flag each q-tip with the barcode stickers and put them in the return envelope and seal it shut with the biohazard sticker. They are going to analyze the swabs and put my bone marrow...type (?) in the registry and then we just wait! I went ahead and took pictures of every step, so take a look!
