Day 188--Happy Birthday!

Yesterday was Torger's 53rd birthday, and today, we got an amazing present from an old friend who's been in touch and supportive throughout Torger's illness. I just wanted to share this, since it's people like Susie whose incredible selflessness makes future birthdays possible for people like Torger:

Dear Susan Gleason,
Thank you for joining the National Marrow Donor Program® Registry. Your registration is now complete. As a member of the Registry, you are listed as a potential donor for patients searching for a match. If you become a possible match for a patient, we'll contact you with the next steps. You could be a match for a patient soon, many years from now, or you may never be the best match.

Susan, welcome to the worldwide movement of people passionate about saving lives. Out of a Registry of millions of potential matches, you may be the one a patient needs.
Thank you for joining,National Marrow Donor Program

Thanks, Susie!
