Help Amit Gupta (Photojojo founder) find a bone marrow donor
- nostrademons 15y agoAmit's a friend-of-several-of-my-friends (we overlapped at Amherst for 3 years), so this has been making the rounds within my social networks. It's interesting to see it show up here - I kinda wonder if I know the submitter but don't know that I know the submitter... Getting on the National Barrow Marrow Registry can be very rewarding in ways beyond helping just one startup founder. I'm not of South Asian descent, so I can probably do nothing for Amit, but I registered at a marrow drive at Google a couple years back, and it was literally the most painless thing ever (just a cheek swab and fill out a form). Actually donating marrow is not quite so painless, but I had a friend who donated stem cells, and she said that despite the discomfort, it was one of the most rewarding things she'd ever done.
- chime 15y agoI'm Indian and already on the marrow.org donor list. Is there anything I need to do to see if I'd be a potential match?
- pmiller2 15y agoNo. They'll contact you if you're a potential match. http://www.marrow.org/Registry_Members/A_Possible_Match/When_You_re_Contacted_as_a_Possible_Match.aspx http://www.marrow.org/Registry_Members/A_Possible_Match/When...
