last week i received a message from a member of this board, not sure they are still active, they can out themselves if they want. but almost 15 years ago when our daughter was dying they were here and as such acted on my repeated pleas to sign up as not only a blood donor but also bone marrow, stem cells and organs (though we won the opt in/out war since then) anyway, he messaged me and told me that a few months ago he was matched with a 2 year old child who has cancer and that they have now done the donation. i know i was like a stuck record back then, but i also know that many of you did sign up and this is the third person from this group who was matched with someone. my daughter died because she didn't get a transplant in time, something as simple as a few hours and a needle really can save someone's life. if you are aged between 17-40 please consider signing up. my daughter would be a teenager and maybe at university now, instead we have had 14 birthdays without her. my oldest boy still remembers the words said about anastasia at half time of the brighton/leeds game on that gloomy day in january 2006.
but if you haven't already, please sign up. you might just save someone's life.
