This just pushed me into signing up too. I thought it would be a long complicated process. It wasn't. Definitely worth it.
nice!
7 minutes? Either your tubes are way faster than mine or I need to start reading faster.

Thanks for the push folks; it was much simpler than I expected, and now I can be excited for some snail mail!

Hooray, glad to hear it! :-)
Thank you, lovesdir & fady!! You could totally have just set yourself up to save a life. Isn't that amazing? Yes, I'm all moony right now but I'm so happy.

If you're reading this & on the fence about registering, especially if you are non-white or mixed race (& ESPECIALLY Asian + Caucasian), please check out this little site about an adorable little 4-year-old boy who loves sharks and desperately needs to find a donor:

And do it now. Not only because doing it now means it'll actually get done, but because Amex is sponsoring the charity this month and paying for all their test-related costs -- meaning the more tests they register in January, the more money Be The Match will have left for future months & for getting the word out:
