Stem cell donor

I routinely donate blood. I am also a registered organ donor. I am too old to be an egg donor. And my hair is too grey and too dreadlocked to be eligible for donation for wigs. So I thought that was it. But then I got a message from Miles in which he mentioned stem cell donation. I didn't know that was a thing! But it clearly is. And it sounds like such a good thing to do. The very next day I googled it, and signed up. It's not like blood donation; they don't just take your stem cells and assume they will find someone who can use them. You just end up in a database, and they might never find a match, so you might never actively donate. But if they do, you can really make a difference in someone's life. It will probably be a bit of a hassle as you probably have to get to England have your stem cells harvested, but I will cross that bridge when I get there.

I got my test kit! It's a swab test like a Covid test. Very easy to do. It's now on its way to be analysed. I will get a confirmation when they get it. And then time will tell if they ever identify me as a match…
