Title: Hi HN,&#60;p&#62;I've posted a couple times here before (mostly within posts pertaining to Amit Gupta's search for a bone marrow donor) and I wanted to share a site I've been working on for the past 5 months or so that recently went live.  I'm going on my fifth year of being an Acute Myelogenous Leukemia survivor, and while I didn't need a bone marrow transplant myself at one point it was a very real possibility.  At that time I became aware of the lack of minority bone marrow donors and made a promise to myself to try to do something about it if I were to survive.  This site is something of a fulfillment of that promise.&#60;p&#62;I don't know if this is explicitly HN-worthy, given that it's not a programmatically-impressive web app or a strictly technical exercise.  But given the publicity that Amit's search for a donor has created for the cause, and some previous posts highlighting concerns around bone marrow donation, I felt like this submission may be relevant to the community.  In the end, hacking is very much about finding a problem and solving it using technology.  I was dissatisfied with the websites I found and the explanations I was given, so this is my attempt to solve that problem.&#60;p&#62;If this post gets any notice the website may very likely go down given my shared hosting plan.  I apologize in advance for that.
