A Helping Hand

One of the nice things about being a blogger is the fact that we've managed to create this sort of community: a network of folks who tend to help each other out, even if it is in the most insignificant ways possible. Today, BP has one such oppertunity, and I think it's for a wonderful cause.

Bone Marrow Transplants. Tricky stuff, because there are about 20,000 types of bone marrow in people. Sometimes, it boils down to a cancer patient needing one to survive, but the vast amount of marrow types takes a person's chances of finding a match to 1:20,000. Those odds get even more limited when you throw in Ethnic background, as is the case of the person we're trying to help today.

All we can do is post a link. But in posting that link, maybe we'll be able to find someone to help this young lady out in her time of need. For more information, click the link and head on over to WWdN:IX for the story. (Link)
