i try not to ask for much, but i'm here asking that you do this, please

hello to anyone who is reading this.  a very good friend of mine has a sister, lindsay, who has cancer.  she's 21, just graduated from duke in industrial engineering, and could have a long life ahead of her.  she's been fighting lymphoma for over a year now, and she desperately needs a donor for peripheral blood stem cells (pbsc).  to see if you're a match, join the "be the match" bone marrow registry.  it's really a simple process:
2.  fill out the form and request a kit
3.  follow the instructions in your kit to take a swab of cheek cells
4.  send kit back to register
5.  if you're a match, lindsay only needs pbsc, so it's simply transferred through an iv
let me know if you have any questions. please seriously consider joining.  thank you from me and all of lindsay's family.
please also pass this around to anyone you know, as the more people that sign up, the more likely lindsay will find a match!
