Everyday Heroes

Everyday heroes come in all shapes and sizes. They don't wear capes, they don't fly, and they don't need superhuman strength. They just need motivation, a positive attitude, and commitment.

When people are faced with a life-threatening illness requiring a marrow transplant, the last person they expect to help them is a complete stranger, but that's just what marrow donors often are. Everyday heroes are both those who use every resource of strength they have to survive a marrow transplant and those who give of themselves to save the life of another.

It doesn't take much to register as a marrow donor, just the time it takes to complete a consent form and have a test tube of blood drawn. You are invited to register as a donor if you are between the ages of 18 and 60 and in good health.
