    Anyone can do it but Asians have a much greater chance of matching other people of Asian decent.

    I'm on the list since my daughters friend had childhood lukemia a couple years ago. Luckily her sister was a match and the transplant took and she's recovered nicely.

    People get registered and on the list. You could save someone's life. What could be better.

    Good luck to your friend.

    is this the same girl that Jeremy Lin tweeted about/posted on facebook about earlier this year? If not I'm sure he would be happy to, if she is I'm sure he would be happy to again. Good luck with everything, prayers go out to her and her family.

    I think the toughest thing to deal with is looking at her two year old beloved son thinking that she may not be able to see him grow up.

    God bless Nina and her family.

    I actually tweeted it to him a few days ago. It was cool that he actually saw it and helped out.
