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.
