The articles I mentioned in the previous posts were added to our Press page, but there are two more to go in there.

First is a People article about Rihanna's help in finding a bone marrow donor for Lisa Flynn, who has the same form of leukemia (AML, acute myelogenous leukemia) as I do. The article includes links to Lisa's website and the DKMS bone marrow donor center. The most important takeaway here is that getting the word out does help—don't hesitate to tell your friends (and even your enemies) that they should go out and register.

Second is a Brentwood Press article that talks about what happens after you get the call to donate. People are generally relieved to find out that registering is painless, but are anxious about the marrow extraction process itself. This should help ease some fears.
