Stem Cell & Bone Marrow Donation.



Hey my fellow humans! I just stumbled across this video and thought it was great for people who are sitting on the fence about donating or for people who haven’t even thought about it. This video is just over 3 mins long and as scary as the title sounds the video makes the process look harmless, which it is! Think about it, a day out of your life could save someone else’s?  

For the people that are not sure what a Stem Cell Transplant is, click the link.

The thing is, this is a big deal for me as it may be me in the next couple of months having a Stem cell transplant. So getting a donor is really important, I think I have a few options from what my Leukaemia Nurse has said in the past. So fingers crossed that I have a match with someone, but I'm one of the lucky ones as theres lots of people that struggle to find a match. Yes I'm pulling on the heart strings so listen up! We all say this will never happen to us but in till it effects YOU or your FAMILY you don't do anything about it. Open your eyes people this is happening and as I said one day of yours can be traded to save another's life.
 
ITS AS EASY AS THAT VIDEO, THATS FRIGGIN CRAZY!

Nothing is 100% yet but I’m preparing myself for the next step and if I’m honest I’m very scared, but it doesn’t mean its going to get the best of me. I know a few people from the Royal Marsden, that have had a transplant and they’re doing great. There a real inspiration to me and the attitude of these people have given me the courage and determination to get through this. Such awesome beautiful people inside and out! I know its not going to be easy and I will have a long road a head of me but I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by awesome family and friends and I just wanna thank you all for being so amazing this last year! 
Lets keep kicking ass people!

So please go check this video out or at least get the message out there!
 Go have a peek! 
Take care and keep smiling you beautiful people!
:)
