" A new friend of mine, Gayle, who&amp;amp;#8217;s an acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) survivor, just forwarded me this link and I had to share it. Lindsey Brass is a 26-year-old AML patient who recently relapsed and is in need of a bone marrow/stem cell transplant, a grueling procedure that requires a genetically matched donor. (FYI, being a donor generally just involves giving a lot of blood.) Problem is, Lindsey doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t have a match yet. To help her find one, her family and friends are holding a bone marrow drive in New York City today and tomorrow and asking anyone and everyone to show up and get tested. All it takes to find out whether you&amp;amp;#8217;re a match is a quick swab of your mouth (amazing, right?!). Even if you don&amp;amp;#8217;t match Lindsey, you can have your results posted on the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Registry and potentially help save someone else&amp;amp;#8217;s life. If you are in the NYC area and can get to one of the drives, I urge you to do it (and, of course, forward this to anyone you think may be interested). If you can&amp;amp;#8217;t make the drive, you can have a kit sent to you so you can do the test at home. Thanks, guys. And good luck, Lindsey. &amp;amp;#8212;Erin"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
