A Birthday Gift for Liam (Public)
I'm making this journal entry public, so pass it on!)
A post from a dear friend:
For those interested, right here in Tacoma you can have the test done. So please encourage all of your friends to drop by and have a swab done. Minorities are free in an effort to diversify the bone marrow registry.
You could save someone's son, nephew, daughter, mother, uncle, baby, child or parent.
I received this from PSBC - You can donate in Tacoma on the 27th of August
(Liam's 4th birthday!)

Thank you for your interest!
You can go into any one of our Puget Sound Blood Centers or look on www.psbc.org for our drive schedules to attend a drive. Just let the staff know you would like to join the bone marrow Registry. They will give you a registration form and a Buccal swab kit to complete. There is a $52 tax-deductable fee for Caucasians wishing to join the Registry to help pay for the HLA typing. You may include the $52 with your registration form pay able to Puget Sound Blood Center (if applicable). If the fee is not included with the form, we will send out a letter requesting payment once the registration form is received. Minorities are fully funded right now to join in efforts to diversify the Registry.
***I just found out yesterday that there will be a drive at The Gyft Clinic on 8/27 - (502 South M Street #200 Tacoma, WA 98405) This drive is not yet on the website***
Please look on www.marrow.org for more information about the National Marrow Donor Program.
Thanks again for contacting us & let us know if you have any questions.
