I read in the newspaper that there was a blood drive and bone marrow registry drive at the Colonie Town Hall. I had been putting off donating blood for ages, since I can't stand the thought of the needle (yes, even though I recieved blood when I needed it) - but I sucked it up because of the bone marrow drive. There was a story in the TU about the man on whose behalf the drive was being held...it is terrible to know that only 1 in 30,000 people could be a match...It is a simple swab to the inside of the cheek. Couldn't be any easier, and who knows - I might be the one in 30,000 for somebody.
