I wanted to throw this out there for you guys. The Delta Zeta Sorority @ USC will be hosting there annual blood and bone marrow drive on February 16th from 12-6 at the Russel House Ballroom. This drive is one of their projects they do every year. It is done in honor of my Step Daughter that passed away from Leukemia. I as well as several others have been bone marrow donors as a direct result of this drive. If you are not on the bone marrow registry you really should sigh up. It is easy to do and not a lot of trouble if you ever get called up. I will be there to give the girls some support and to give blood. Thank you for taking the time to read this and hope to see you there.
 
Hope all is well with the family, I wont be able to donate this year due to the blood thinners I'm on, but I feel sure that it will be a great event. I may swing by for some moral support though.
 
That would be great. It is a great thing these girls are doing. I hope they keep it up.
 
I'm on the Bone Marrow registery! It's a great cause! My g/f is an Oncology nurse and we both registered when we lived in Phoenix. Still waiting on that call, and would be there in a heartbeat! Sorry to hear about your step-daughter, Leukemia is a horrible disease. If I wasn't so far away I would definitely donate and show up for some support as well. I hope the turn-out is great!
 
Bump this incase any of you want to come to Columbia for a good cause.
 
I'll be heading out about 12:30.
 
I thought I would share some pictures form the drive.

Me with 4 of the original members that started the drives.

They added 278 names to the NMDP list and collected a lot of blood. I think it was around 90 pints.
