What does it mean to find a suitable bone marrow donor? Pay attention to what Jeri Lynn and her daughter Alyssa have to say:


NFL cornerback Ricky Manning Jr made this commercial for the NMDP when he was with the Carolina Panthers

Make a difference . . .Before it's too late

The Yvette Gate Bone Marrow Campaign is about saving lives. Currently many patients with serious bone marrow illnesses die because they are unable to find a suitable matching donor. But you can make a difference. By joining a bone marrow register you make yourself available to save someone's life. Joining is simple and just requires you to fill in a registration form and give a small blood sample. Your blood sample will be tested to determine your "tissue type".

If your tissue type matches that of a patient that needs a transplant then you will be asked to donate some bone marrow. You could be that patient's only hope.

Donation
Donating bone marrow is straight forward.  It usually involves a surgical procedure under a general anaesthetic.  Whilst you are asleep some of your bone marrow or (stem cells) is taken from the back of your pelvic bones by syringe.  You would donate between 2% and 3% of your own marrow which regenerates in a few weeks.  Donors say that the area where the marrow is extracted from can ache for a few days.  But think about it.  What is a few days of discomfort when it comes to saving somebody's life? 

There is another method of donation which involves extraction of stem cells from the bloodstream.  More details of this can be found on the website at www.yvettegate.co.uk.

Criteria for registration varies between countries and bone marrow registers.

The importance of the bone marrow register
If a patient needs a bone marrow transplant it usually means that all other treatment has failed.  Their life may depend on finding a suitably matching donor.  It is important that the donor closely matches the tissue type of the patient.  Ideally a donor would come from a patient's own family member (brother or sister).  But less that 30% of donors are actually found from within a donor's own family.

Therefore over 70% of transplants come from unrelated donors on the bone marrow register.  So it becomes clearer how important this register is.  Unfortunately there are not enough potential donors registered and many patients still die, unable to find a matching donor.

Greater need among minority groups
This need is even greater amongst black and other minority ethnic groups.  Not only is there a greater variety of tissue types, but there are also far fewer people on the bone marrow register.

You really can make a difference in somebody's life by joining the bone marrow register.  If you do not turn out to match a patient needing a life-saving transplant, then your details will be kept on a database.  You never know, you may be somebody's lifesaver in the future.

Please do something special today.  For patients waiting for a transplant time is running out so please make a difference . . . before it's too late.

HEALING THE WOUNDS OF OTHERS
Let me not live a life that's free
From the things that draw me close to Thee,
For how can I ever hope to heal
The wounds of others I do not feel---
If my eyes are dry and I never weep,
If my heart is cold and it never bleeds,
How can I tell what my brother needs,
For when ears are deaf to the beggar's pleas,
And we close our eyes and refuse to see,
And we steel our hearts and harden our mind,
And we count it a weakness whenever we're kind,
We are no longer following the Father's way,
Or seeking His guidance from day to day--
For without crosses to carry and burdens to bear,
We dance through a life that is frothy and fair,
And "chasing the rainbow" we have no desire
For roads that are rough and realms that are higher--
So spare me no heartache or sorrow, dear Lord,
For the heart that is hurt reaps the richest reward,
And God enters the heart that is broken in sorrow
As He opens the door to a brighter tomorrow,
For only through tears can we recognize
The suffering that lies in another's eyes.
THE OFFICIAL LORD I WILL!!

THE OFFICIAL LORD I WILL!!

Your success is not a matter of idle chance,
it's a matter of making the right choices.
It's not something you wait for,
but rather something you'll achieve with effort.
Things won't turn up in this world until you turn them up.

Success is neither magical nor mysterious.
The people that truly succeed in the world
are the people who look for the circumstances they want,
and, if they can't find them, make them.
Don't sit on the sidelines, get in the game.
Your access to success has no real limits.

The great opportunity in your life is where you are right now.
Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity for you.
You have grand opportunities all around you.
Open your eyes, and you will find it.

If you have the desire, you have the power.
Taking action is all that is required.

Scripture says, "Behold, I place before you a day. Create with it what you will." The wonderful truth is that we co-create our lives by deciding how we will experience the circumstances of our lives.
What will you choose today?

Every individual is like a thread in a beautiful tapestry with a vital contribution to make, not only to the sustenance of life, as we know it, but in the creation and development of more beneficial expressions of life. Investing, rather than spending, our life involves the commitment of our resources—ideas, love, talents, time, energy, and money—to those activities that support this larger purpose.

Go After Your Dreams

You're good, but you're going to be great.


You're the best, but you're going to get better.


Sometimes the paths we take are long and hard, but remember: those are always the ones that lead to the most beautiful views.


Challenges come along inevitably: how you respond to them determines who you are - deep down inside - and everything you're going to be.


Increase the chances of reaching your goals by working at them gradually. The very best you can do is all that is asked of you.


Realize that you are capable of working miracles of your own making. Remember that opportunities have a reason for knocking on your door, and the right ones are there for the taking.


You don't always have to win, but you do need to know what it takes to be a winner.


It's up to you to find the key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life.


Understand that increased difficulty brings you nearer to the truth of how to survive it - and get beyond it.


Cross your bridges.


Meet your challenges.


Reach out for your dreams, and bring them closer and closer to your heart.


Get rid of the "if only's" and get on with whatever you need to do to get things right.


Go after what you want in life, with all the blessings of all the people who care about you.
And find out what making your wishes come true really feels like
