Hello everyone! ❗️ VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR DISSERTATION ❗️
I’m a university student in the UK who underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant a few years ago. Before that I was registered as a donor in my country, so I can say that this topic was always close to my heart but now it is even more! This is why I’m currently writing a dissertation on bone marrow donors, in particular what motivates them to donate and eventually what could work best in getting more people to sign up to become donors.
All this to say: if you or someone you know is FROM THE UK, have/has DONATED BM or is SIGNED UP to the UK registry, and if you are interested in taking part in my research, I would very much appreciate if if you could reach out to me on this email: [email protected]
Please feel free to email me with any questions if you are unsure on whether to participate or not, or just ask in the comments or send a DM.
Thanks and have a great day!

Keith and I had our first child together, our daughter Megan, on February 26, 1990. After three weeks, we discovered she was in congestive heart failure, she had an enlargement of her heart called Cardiomyopathy and she was put on many different medications, to help her heart, beat efficiently. When she was only 7 months old, however, she suffered a massive heart attack…

This is literally why I love my job! I get to spend my days researching non-profits and amazing people doing amazing things for others. My co-worker's friend made this parody of taylorswift‘s ‘Bad Blood’ video to raise awareness about becoming a bone marrow donor. www.BeTheMatch.org/Join
Today I...
Today I donated blood for the first time.
I was kinda freaked at first, considering I didn’t even know my blood type to begin with... I still don’t actually.
Shit, I hope they test that.
Anyway, it was weird. They put a big ass needle in my arm and I barely had time to release a high pitched noise of shock before the tube turned red and suddenly I was watching my blood flow out of me and into a bag covered in labels and bar codes.
three songs later, I was done and got a bag of cookies and a can of cranberry juice.
It was that easy. I don’t even know what I was scared of before, maybe just the overall simplicity of something that seemed unnatural at first.
I mean, your blood is supposed to stay in your body. All that junk inside your body is supposed to be there right? And here I was just opening the flood gates and letting it out.
But as I watched my bag fill up, and when they took the needle out, I realized that my blood was going to help someone. All I had to do was sit in a chair, listen to some tunes, eat a cookie, and someone would be better for it.
So seriously, everyone who can. Donate blood any chance you get.
I know there are all these rules and limitations with blood donations, but guess what! There’s more!
If you or someone you know has been told they can’t donate blood because of their sexual orientation, medication, or sexual history and they were upset by this. Today I also registered to be a match for donating bone marrow. And all they need is DNA. I swabbed my cheek, signed a paper, and I have a chance to save a life. ANYONE can do it.
Your lifestyle doesn’t have to prevent you from donating and saving someone else’s.
Please donate. :)
Please register to Be a Match. You can save a life. Asian and South Asian donors are especially needed. I registered in college and I keep them informed of my address just in case.
