Hey Asian People: Save Janet’s Life

I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to assume that a lot of people of Asian descent read this site. Out of 10k+ per day there’s gotta be at least one that will match Janet Liang and save her life:

Check out Reddit for more. Bone marrow donation is actually a lot easier than I originally thought, but it’s still a choice to make. There is a serious lack of Asian doners though, so the impact of trying is even greater.

UPDATE: Also, in a reversal of fate, there’s a European father of two in Japan name Aidan O’Connor who is having trouble finding a match here. If you are in Japan and are caucasian there’s a much greater chance that you can be a match. Read Aidan’s homepage for details.

My Japanese wife and I are getting tested this week to see if we can help either Janet or Aidan. It’s easy, painless, and might save a life.
