Dear Family & Friends:
I ask that you first not treat this email like the thousands of spam-types
we normally receive each day. And I would ask that you consider cascading it out to all your contact lists (family, friends,
church, company, teams, clubs, associations) ASAP regardless of your participation.
Here is The Sorensen family’s situation with the upcoming cancer treatment
for Tammy.
(read more of our story @ http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/tamrasorensen)
We need
stem cells soon.
The current US
stem cell registry is about 7M out of 303M Americans.
2% sucks and we need more citizens to sign up.
Before I first learned a few months ago we need a donor stem cell transplant
for Tammy’s best process option to rid her body of this horrible disease, I thought it was something the repubs and
demos argued about for religious reasons. Once you need them, you become quite educated. And you never know when you might
need them.
Many of you have approached me on how you can help our fight beyond prayer
and here's a very tangible way for you to help not only Tammy & my family
but also the rest of mankind.
The first is by cascading this email
forward.
Next I ask you to consider clicking on the following link to the National Marrow
Donor Program and sign up to be a donor.
Keep in mind the way people are “typed” for their stem cell code
is via a Q-Tip swab to your own cheek.
For a short time (first 10,000 to sign up) what normally is $52 is free. I think it is a shame that there is a cost barrier on this registry,
but for now it appears underfunded. The NMDP has a Mother’s Day Drive getting
ready to launch 12:01 a.m. on May 5. You can click on the following link to enroll for free:

This is one small thing we can all do to leave the trail behind Tammy & our family a little better than we found
it. We hope you will take this opportunity to act quickly while the access is free and help make a difference.
