I found one. Or one found me.
Remember this? I volunteered for a bone marrow registry back in June. 6 months ago. I have friends who have been in the registry for years. Only 1 in a hundred or so people will be matched with someone in their lifetime. I was just notified that I'm a match for someone. There's a good chance I'll be donating in the coming months. The chance that I would even be notified (whether or not I turn out to be a "perfect" match and therefore donate) is less than 1%.
How's that for making someone feel special?
Have a Delicious Weekend.

Wow. That is amazing! I am on the list and have been for years...What a selfless thing to do.
That is so great! It is really a mitzvah.
That is so fantastic! Good for you to do that... what a small percent! I'm sending good wishes your way that all turns out well.
Oh my gosh!!! That is truly amazing. SO wonderful you signed up for that and yes- you have truly made someone (and their family & friend's) Christmas miracle wish come true!!!
Now go out tonight and treat yourself to a great celebration you deserve. :)
How special! I was a match of some sorts in college, but when they narrowed it down even further there was a better match. It was a little bit scary, but at the same time I was so excited to know that I could help to save someone's life!
Please keep up posted :)

Hey Marie! I love finding other NY bloggers! I wrote to you over on my blog but wanted to let you know that I'd love for you to send in your My New York and/or Gypsy Series stories! Thanks again for stopping by =]
And I forgot to mention how amazing it is for you to do this. My Uncle's a 2-time Lymphoma survivor, and his bone-marrow transplant is what really saved his life. So thank you for helping to save a life.
This is amazing! I've never really thought about that before... Maybe I'll have to look into it for myself...
