Be The Match...

Today was pretty awesome! I got a phone call from Be The Match that I am a possible match as a bone marrow donor for a 51-year old patient who is in need of a bone marrow transplant.  Needless to say I'm beyond excited that if this does happen, the thought of actually helping save someone's life, that's something I never thought I'd personally be able to do!

This isn't a done deal. I've got more tests to take and it'll be 6-8 weeks after the tests before I know for sure if I'm the best match and we would proceed.  But the thought of actually being able to do this for someone is beyond my comprehension!

Little did I know 3.5 years ago when this photo was taken, just where it might lead....
