Consider This: Becoming a Bone Marrow Donor

Last year, I impulsively decided to register myself on the bone marrow donor list.
I haven't been called to do anything about it yet, maybe I never will be. But I was thinking about it today after I received word via Steve-0 that the beloved football coach at SCA has contracted a rare form of blood cancer, Amyloidosis. Apparently, from what I understand, bone marrow transplant may be a viable option for treatment. Anyway, I won't mince words - apparently giving bone marrow is a rather uncomfortable procedure, but maybe if you know that doing it could save someone's life, someone like Coach Knapp who is loved by many, maybe you would think twice about doing it.

It's not hard. You just sign up, and then you're sent an envelope with a couple of swabs in it. You swipe the inside of your mouth and put it in the enclosed envelope and send it back and viola! You're registered.

We haven't done Good Deed Tuesday in awhile, but this could give you your Good Deed quota for like,...ever.

Think about it.
Than, go here to sign up.

Project 1Buck

Many of you may remember the post I did a couple weeks back for Project1Buck.

They're over half way to getting the $$ needed to buy a computer for the Black Hills Neighborhood community center, so if anyone if willing or has a minute - pop over to the their site and give a mere $1 so they can meet their goal before their deadlines is up (in 11 days) so they can meet their goal. If everyone who gave $1, gives just $1 more, the goal will be met! And I can't wait to see what the next project in store is.....

Read more about it and give a dolla' here.

Come on....all the cool kids are doin' it......

Project 1Buck

So....there was this website called The Million Dollar Home Page (http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/), set up by this college kid who needed some funds to pay off his college debt. He set up a 1,000 x 1,000 pixel grid, and put each pixel up for sale… the price was $1 each.
Alex sold all 1 million pixels in just over 5 months.

Enter Steve's best bud from college, Scott Sadler, along with a few of his friends - who were intriqued by the theory of thousands of strangers donating a mere $1 to a certain cause. They began to wonder if the strategy of raising money one buck at a time could be used in different ways… "What if that idea, that strategy, was used to support a good cause? Could it work?"

So they started Project1Buck. The idea is simple... If enough people donate $1, good things can happen for people in need. Their current project is to buy a computer for a community center in downtown Grand Rapids. They only need 752 people to donate $1......why don't you??
