| Please Read The following link is about Ethan, an almost 5 month old with Leukemia. He is in desperate need of a bone marrow donor match. We are hoping over the next month to test 2 million people to find a match. We are trying to set up testing sites all across the U.S. All that is needed is a building that can hold the people who will come to get tested ((churches would be great)), a dozen volunteers to work the testing site that day and a date that you can have the drive. From May 7th to the 21st there is a campaign called "Thanks Mom" that is sponsoring these drives. There is no blood test needed, it is a mouth swab. If you can help set up a drive in your area or are interested in helping please send me a pm. This is a very inspirational family and they need as many prayers as they can get. Thank You, Kasey http://ethanpowell.com/Encrypted.cfm?id=121

| That's so sad...it's a shame that so many people can be saved my bone marrow transplants but are not...usually the donaters have to die in order to save a life by donation ...but in this case you can donate a part of you & never miss it in the process.....I don't know why people don't, myself included

| We are already in the computer system listing us as donors and the profile. I hope he finds one without having to go thru all of that. |
