If you are in the United State and you would like to contribute money or become a Bone Marrow Donor Volunteer, visit the Marrow Foundation Donor Garden: http://www.donorgarden.org
One of the major challlanges to the National Marrow Donor Program in the US is a lack of funding; all but two weeks a year (the annual Thanks Mom campaign), there are significant fees attached to becoming a donor volunteer (upwards of $50, unless you are in certain categories considered urgently needed).
70% of Marrow donation procedures involve a non-surgical method of extracting Marrow, called the PBSC method. 30% of the time it is a surgical procedure, but it is not the super-invasive 'corkscrew in the spine' that many people believe it to be.
I encourage every person between 18 and 60 to contact the NMDP and become a donor volunteer: the odds of being a non-relative genetic match bottom out at 1 in 20,000, making every new donor a sick person's potential winning lottery ticket!!
