GUYS. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ.
Okay. Really important shit here.
Currently, in the United States, there are tens of thousands of people waiting for bone marrow. Without it, many will die.
The good news? You can sign up to be an marrow donor! The process is painless - just some simple swabs from your cheek - and you will be put into a registry that helps match donors with people in need. Unfortunately, it usually costs upwards of $100 to join this registry.
But this is where the cool part comes in.
For the month of January, American Express is helping to cover the cost of joining.
That’s right. You can now join the registry at little to no cost to you. I just signed up and it was free. That’s right. I just potentially saved a motherfucking life and it didn’t cost me a penny. A life like this one.
Isn’t that cool?
Yeah, I thought so, too.
So, if you are so inclined, mosey on over to marrow.org and sign your ass up. Use promo code PIF070109. According to the website, donors of the following backgrounds are especially needed: Black or African American; American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian, including South Asian; Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; Hispanic or Latino; Multiple race. Yes, there are restrictions, many of which are similar to those used for blood donation. Check them out to see if any of them pertain to you.
REMEMBER. THIS PROMO ONLY LASTS UNTIL THE END OF JANUARY. SO, IF YOU CAN, SIGN UP NOW.
And, if you can’t, signal boost the hell out of this.
Let’s save some lives, people!

Followers who meet the guidelines and are healthy enough to handle bone marrow donations, please register!

I’ve been on the registry for almost 10 years now. I’ve matched 3 people. Sign up folks.
