Boosting the Signal - Please Help and Pass the Word
Please take a moment to read this post from former contestant and supporter of LJ Idol, astriana_.
Short version: Astri's sister is in need of a bone marrow transplant to treat her Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Since full-blooded siblings are usually the best shot of finding a a donor, Astri was tested - and is not a match. Susie's coworkers and family are now looking for a bone marrow donor and are sponsoring a bone marrow drive on Monday, May 9th from 10am to 2pm. The link gives information about the drive and donorship, as well as where to sign up to donate if you unable to attend the scheduled drive - even if you can't donate marrow, please consider donating financially and/or passing the word to your friends lists.
Astri's sister is fighting for her life, and anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated. As Astri's sister puts it, "You may not be my hero, but you could be someone else's."
