More on Giving Blood

Our super-hero friend Jennifer once ran a bone marrow drive and tells us that the Red Cross is a great way to go for giving blood because you can also be included in the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Bone marrow transplant is the treatment of last resort for leukemia kids (usually not necessary if chemo does the trick), so with any luck Dayssi will never need one. But there are many, many kids (and adults) with leukemia who do.

Here are links to the red cross.
