  • shiiiiit.. I don't need to see the whole vid, registering right now

  • If only we could cure everyone of everything then there would be a trillion people all living in harmony.

  • :(

  • We miss you Erica. You are in our hearts forever.

  • @3255905 Nope

  • What part of my body could I cut off to donate the most bone marrow without killing myself?

  • @bernie23232323232323 They actually use a needle (and anaesthetic) to take a little bit out of your hip. WIthin a week you replenish what they took out and you ahve absolutely no ill effects. One of the greatest things you can do for another human.

  • It's hard to see this beautiful woman singing her song and knowing she passed away in Dec 2008 just makes me realize that I have nothing to complain about. I only wished she would have found a donor. May she rest in peace and I hope she knows how many people's lives she has touched.

  • I was a donor for my brother... More people need to donate there stem cells.... !!!!!!!! If I could help this woman I would....

  • 俺がなりたいのは16歳と骨髄移植ドナーだよ!!

    In the past, self was superior fantastically, and there were the times when shined.

    Self is now oneself of all time in all the life history trace track distance era.

    The thing that I want the marrow and the money and woman and children own need in the reality world is essential I get all it, and to grant all desires.

    過去には素晴らしく優れ輝いた時代もあったのだ、其の人生歴史軌­跡道程全時代全時期の今自身である。骨髄も金も女も子供も現実世­界に於いて欲しい物も全て手に入れ全願望を叶える為に、絶対必須­なんだ。

  • I just donated wednesday

  • @ovidio114 Good for you!I am still waiting to be on the registry.

    How does the operation felt like?

  • @ChrisAstro30 It's not bad! I did it the traditional way, and i was in and out of surgery the same day. The feeling that I helped someone is the coolest feeling ever :)

  • @ovidio114 Awesome!That's a great thing to accomplished!

    Btw,how long did it take you to be on the registry?

  • this is really cute, so sorry she didn't make it.

    I'm 16 but i wouldve done it to save her life.

    she so full of life it makes me smile, but sad at the same time.

    rip <3

  • aww i am crying as watching and i just registered rip Erica

  • So sad about this. I got to meet Erica and Jaci in Boston through a common friend back in 2006, before moving to SF. Really really great girls. I used to check Erica's blog often, but then in sometimes 2008 I stopped. I went last night to check it out how she was doing, and found she passed away in December 2008.

    It is so sad :(

    Extending my condolences to her family.

  • So brave and such an incredible spirit. After I watched this I made quite fe adjustments in my own life. I don't want to let the loss of her life simply fade away. All of us who have our health have a duty to make the most of these precious lives we have been given.

  • This makes me sad..Did she get a doner?

  • God Bless you Erica, may you be resting in peace. I just came upon this video today, how I wish I had seen it sooner. Because of you and your courage, I have registered today and because of you maybe I will be called to help someone else. Many prayers and peace to Erica's loved ones, family, friends and everyone else posting on this thread...

  • In Loving Memory of Dear Erica on her birthday - a beautiful soul taken too soon :( <3

    Please get yourselves registered everyone!!

  • did she pass away?

  • Erica passed away on December 4, 2008.

  • i would but i am only 17

  • I think you might be just old enough to do it:)...if not wait till next year:)

  • I really thought you were going to make it:(...I was almost SURE of it!!!

  • strongly encourage people to do it.. save lives..

  • Why don't you do it?

  • im already registered to do it.. im just waiting to see if i match anyone who needs it..

  • My wife donated last week. We don't know who the recipient is but we hope one day we can meet her. RIP Erica...

  • I never had the pleasure of knowing Erica. May she rest in peace. I joined the marrow network last year.

  • To 'walkinrock', you are a very ignorant person. What in the world would give you the nerve to post such a revolting and negative comment as such? If you had a cancer that didn't always have a happy ending, you would want all the help you could get. Right?

    Your comment was just enough to tick off a person with cancer. She passed away, just so you know, with your 'not-nice' comment in her head. Thanks alot, 'walkinrock'. We can all feel the love. NOT!!!

  • i know how it feels when i saw seven pounds when will smith donated. but yes i have donated and it hurts soooo bad but its worth it

  • i Donated Bone Marrow...(4 NBMP in Minnesota)....& im VERY RELUCTANT 2tell anyone not 2help another. ....i supposably SAVED THE LIVES of 2young children...& have been messed up every since. "RELENTING PAIN" ect. Though the worse is when yA loose ya JOB & ability 2Do certain JOBS...& did i mention THE PAIN???? They tell you "JUST DEAL WiTH iT"...& they keep LYiNG to you....get there LAWYER 2send you a letter, then turn there back on YOU! Becareful what yal VOLUNTEER4 ~RiP KaRL~ CANCER Oct11 '08~

    ....doctors strugglin to bring her BACK TO LIFE....

    ....Maybe thats why i donated BoneMarrow to 2Strangers that i've neva met. The same age as My children.

    Regradless of u sayn its EZ NOW...THE FACT iS, PPL NEED 2KNO what cAn happen.

  • My apologies..yes people should KNOW what can happen...they should also go through COMPLETE PHYSICALS before donating to make sure that they're 100%

  • I'm sorry to hear that Erica has passed away. My condolences go out to hear friends and family.

  • Erica found a donor..she relapsed about 6 months post transplant..she seemed to be doing well and she just go sick again and died so quickly :(....

  • love u ...u are so cute ..

  • Seriously everyone should join the Bone Marrow List it takes little time and is worth a lot! Finding a match is tough since there are so many different components of the bone marrow and blood that need to match! So everyone please donate!

  • Jackie, A friend shared this awesome video with me. I work to raise money for cancer research and I am on the donor list. I wish I could have helped Erica. I would have given my bone marrow for her. God Bless you and Erica, family and friends.

  • Our sincere condolences for your loss - may you rest in peace Dear Erica - we shall never forget you or your beautiful smile xx

  • you are a very ignorant person, if you was about to die you would not be singing at all, but probably be cursing everyone and everything and blaming everyone for your condition. What, do you think it was easy for her to sit there and play the guitar and sing? no it most likely wasnt easy!

    by the way i really hope that she gets someone that is compatable with her. Im not asian and dont think that i would be compatable, but i am going to go to the nearest NMDP donor center and sign up.

  • i would completely love to be your donor. im looking right now to become a donor.

  • have my bone marrow, seriousely, I think the girl needs life more than I do... just reply and we'll see what I do.

    Take care!

  • I like tihs song and it's high spirits. By the way arab. Why would you make a comment like that on this video? You must have such a bad like to think so bad about such a high spirit song, douch bag. :) Nice vid

  • <3 i love u LOVE MEEEEE z

  • im 18 and im asian!!

  • I will sign up when I am 18!

  • :)) That was really good!!! You have such high spirits, I'm sure you will get what you need.

  • My heart aches for your need...I will pray for you and I hope you get your donor! God Bless!

  • I work for the National Marrow Donor Program at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. I go out to help our recruiters register donors and I know the need. I will be praying for you.

  • that was really good :]] i hope u find one and ur both really pretty :]] i think u look really pretty w/o hair im not even kidding u look really goood!

    <3 best wishes <3

  • Hi: In case you are not aware of this procedure. My wife had Leukaemia in 1986 and a Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant in 1987. This procedure was performed by Dr Armand Keating at Toronto General Hospital, now with Princess Margaret Hospital. You must be in remission and they harvest your marrow. They do complete body radiation and return the small amount of marrow via transfusion. My wife is still here and well except she got Hep C from one of the 50 or so transfusions she received. Good luck.

  • God Bless you and I hope you get a match soon and hopefully it wont fall through again. I actually registered today before watching your video and I am so glad that I did. My husband also registered more to support me but after watching this video he is 100% sure he will go through it. My prayers will be with you.

  • You both have cute smiles! :)..Good luck!

    I'm a potential donor, and today I got a letter in the mail saying I was matched up with a two year old.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm officially registered as of today ^-^ I didn't realize there was such a need for mix-raced donors (I'm part Indian, Korean and Irish), but I really hope I can help someone now !

  • I'm officially registered as of tiday ^-^ I didn't realize there was such a need for mix raced donors (I'm part Indian, Korean and Irish), but I really hope I can help someone now

  • I will post this vid link to all sites/accounts I have. I hope u find a donor soon!

    Well wishes goes out to you.

  • Where are you located/ And when you say minority, what mix? I am German, Spaniard and Native American. I would be honored to help, if I am able to. My wife is Latin American and a 3rd African American, she is also willing to help. Let us know. I love your spirit, girl.

  • wait... i'm white, so i can't donate? i'm sorry... i really hope you find someone!

  • hope you find it

  • i hope you find it, im a white man ,you need a mixed person??

    i think you will find one,good luck

  • white is soo cool!!! unfortunately there is only 8% of them anymore!

  • and to those saying u can't help because you're white, she is not necessarily asking someone to donate to her. she is getting awareness out about the need. you can help by spreading the word to your friends through email or posting it on your site (facebook myspace etc) also, white people need donors, too. just so you know. even if they don't have a neat video like this out.

  • i immediately posted an alert about this issue on my facebook because i have a lot of asian and ethnic minority friends and i asked them to post more to their friends. this song was very inspiring and i just want to thank you guys so much. it really moved me. i didn't even know this was such a huge issue. i'm in canada, and we need more donors here too!

  • I wish I could help but I'm white :(.

  • Alright get in touch with some of the big hitters like Lucy Lui, Yao Ming to raise the profile of your cause.

    Good Luck!!!!

  • that wasnt me..... im sorry, thats what i get for having a household comp logged in, on the real, im only white, so idont think i could help :(

  • You are a sick individual, i hope karma bites you in the ass, hard.

  • y do u say that.?

  • Ahh I dont really like the song, but its for a good cause. Good luck finding a donor.

  • I agree with Derbysanchez 1714... both of them are very pretty! =]

    This makes me want to go on the registry.

    I just turned 18, but I can't go on it... not until July. I've been diagnosed with anemia, so all that stuff is messed up one, and if my iron pills don't work then they are checking my bone marrow in July. So I can't get in the registry just yet... but soon!

  • God bless you girls. I hope you guys find a match.

  • Every now and then... I cry. A strange thing to do while watching YouTube. So much to hurt us in this world. I'd give my right arm if I thought it would help save someone from suffering.

    I'm going to go get put on the registry.

  • oh god im gonna cry...someone help her

  • I'm a little young to donate anything, but I give out free hugs, and you two are huggable

  • she needs life and free hugs wont help her!!!!

  • You two are sooo freakin' hot! Maybe not appropriate but the best I can do since I can't donate to you...nice song too :)

  • What a nice song and gorgeous smiles! I've been on the registry for 15 years and gotten called once but not a strong enough match. I volunteered at a bone marrow transplant center in the past and worked with children. Wonderful to see them recover. Get signed up everyone! And good luck to you Erica -- hope you find a match.

  • you have a gorgeous smile! i KNOW you'll find a donor!

    keep up your spirits <3

  • I was lucky to donate in 2005 for a mother out in Illinois - I was actually selected for two different recipients, but only one was strong enough to accept :( Not looking for kudos, but just wanted to let others know that the actual operation is really no big deal. In and out of the hospital in a matter of hours, and back to work in a couple days. Seriously, check it out and become a donor if you can.

  • my dad's wife is alive thanks to a very nice man who donated his bone marrow to her - now he has a family of his own, but his kids are too young to understand their father's heroism. I wish I could donate, but I can't since I have diabetes. This is a very good video, hopefully it will inspire people to save lives!

  • I really admire you. I can't be a donor since I'm just 15. Keep strong.

  • You are really strong!

    Keep holding on!

  • Wow. Your strength and courage are undeniable. I see such a live spirit in BOTH of you, and you will be in my prayers... I have Lupus, and went thru the chemo, radiation, etc...and I KNOW I never looked as radiant as you do! Please keep your heart full and your smile wide...your beautiful...

  • I am a registered donor i have never been called .

  • That really touched my heart, you are an amazingly strong person, my prayers are with you and your family... I hop yo findyour match xxxx

  • OMG, even through all of your adversity, you still have the most beautiful smile and radiant spirit. I truly hope you find your match.

  • my prayers are with all of you needing a donor. i was lucky 3 1/2 years ago. my donor saved my life. Lord God, if it be your will please answer the prayers of so many and deliver a matching donor to these young people. In the nmaeof your Son.....Amen

  • This breaks my heart. I wish you the best of luck and you are in my prayers.

  • Please whereever you are in the world get registred!

    Right now there are hundreds of people waiting for a transplant. YOU might be someones lifesaver! You might be the genetic twin of somone who will die otherwise!

    All you have to do is give a little blood and a few hours of your time.

    Please go to your national bone-marrow-donor site and read about it - spread the word -

    thank you

  • ps: for those who are reading, if you're 18+ or under 61 years of age, you qualify to be a potential donor. If you are of different ethnicities as Jaclyn, your registration could help save another life. If you strongly feel that you would not match anyone, than repost videos such as this to better inform others of this situation. xo

  • Hey lovely ladies, my sister and I posted a video response to inform viewers of the statistics and facts of ethnic minority donors. We have been running drives so hopefully we get plenty of "hapas" to register and potentially save your life. Stay strong love. xoxo

  • I am not bi-racial, however, I do have o+ Blood. I may be white, but, I am pretty sure I would be match. If you need it, its yours.

  • I am mexican and white and indian? Would donate in a N.Y. minute

  • I am Korean and White, I registered. Should be getting that swab kit sooner or later.

  • ive always wanted to dontae bone marrow for two years but my parents say im to young, but i hope you find a donor. good luck!!

  • I'm crying...what can I do to help?

  • I am crying...what can I do to help?

  • I am more than willing to help you if I am a match! I am 27, healthy, and bi-racial (black & white)! If you are still searching please let me know - I only signed up for UTube to respond to this video so I hope I'm doing this right.

  • It dose hurt a bit, but you wont die and pain gose away.

  • Praying for you Erica, had a drive '07, then BMT and couldn't ignore the astounding need for ethnic diversity on the registry so we're doing another drive in 2 wks, my husband posted my video story here.

  • what happens to the doner?

  • you get the satisfaction of knowing you helped someone

  • you are a very happy looking person i hope you find a donor, i wish you loads of luck in your quest i will look into regestering to be a donor in the uk

  • Good Luck and God Bless

  • You should make another video educating people on how they can donate...Where do you live? You are awesome. Good for you for keeping your spirits up. You guys are super.

  • You are an amazing young lady!!  My 7 year old granddaughter is firmly in remission from leukaemia and it would break my heart if she was in the same predicament that you are in. I love the song and sincerely hope that you get your marrow donor real soon - get yourselves registered everyone!!

  • i want to help you what do i do. Please send me something back.  PLEASE

  • Join the National Marrow Donor Program's bone marrow donor registry! Feel free to call the NIH Marrow Donor Program, 301-496-0572 & we'll get the process started!

  • My brother was going to register and my dad was giving him shit about it because of how painful the procedure is. My dad's an asshole.

  • Good Luck and God Bless

  • My wife found 1 match in the world! just 1! a 29 year old from usa. 1 out of like, 11 million in the world. i am, with the help of our 11 year old duaghter, hosting a drive. everybody probably has at least 1 donor out there, they just have to get registerd! thanks for the powerful video!

  • Now I finally believe in love at first sight! You are amazing women! I'm proud to say I'm one Papa you wouldn't have to kidnap! I'll check into registering ASAP. Good luck and Lotz of love!

  • I hope she finds a donor

  • can 15 year olds register?

  • that's super thoughtful, but unfortunately, no. you have to be 18 years old or have a family member who needs the transplant. But hey, in 3 years, you can register!

  • =[ ok

  • So wait I researching this and can't really understand. So they take needles and remove my marrow that will replenish in 6 weeks or so but what are the side effects of givning it or what kind of process do I have to go through and how long does it take.

  • I would love to be a donor. I had leukemia in 1976 and was healed by prayer...no other explanation it was a real miracle. Anyway, I would like to be a donor...after all I am cured! Wouldnt you think I would make a good donor but no...I cant...why? Because I had leukemia 32 years ago with never a recurrence. Interesting...anyway I can pray for you and will. It saved me from a terrible disease when there was no hope like there is now. God bless

  • god be with you great song i hope you find one,,......mary

  • I would love to have you on my radio show! Is there a safe way for you to get your contact information to me?

    I am a cancer survivor and am hold a bone marrow drive in my community in May.

  • "well, i'd sail from here to Guam". cool, you said Guam. I'm from there! This is an amazing video & you guys are awesome and such beautiful ladies.

    GOOD DONORS, WHERE ARE YOU?!

    do you think i can register even though i'm all the way here on Guam????

  • yes!! you can register all over the world! :) thanks for the support!

  • This is a great video...I really hope that when you find one you'll let everyone know. The part about "I'd learn Chinese" had me rolling. Good luck.

  • this was a great way to open eyes and bring awareness.. I wish you all the luck

  • Have you found a donor yet?

  • Thanx for raising awareness. I will also pray for you! Good luck! Nice rendition of that song also! lol

  • Where are you located? I am in NYC. I am Black.

    -TonyaTko

  • Honey I really wish that I could help you but what I can do is to turn people on to this video and see if anyone knows someone who may be a match. I will keep good thoughts for you and wish that" a real good donor" comes to you soon!

  • I wish I could help you darlin!!!!!

    You are in my prayers!!!!

    God Bless you!!!

    XOXOXOOXX

  • BOTH OF YOU look pretty :)

  • BOTH OF YOU look pretty :)

  • Hi Erica, you don't know me, but I saw this video linked to a couple of friends' myspace bulletins. I too am from SM(currently going to Fresno State) and just had to say that your video has helped inspire me to become a donor. Going into a career of law enforcement has fulfilled my dream of helping others, but you have encouraged me to do more. Stay strong and keep the faith. Good luck to you.

  • i actually just tried donating platelets for a friend but they said no bc i take medicine... now im going 2 see if i can be a donor for bone marrow!!! wish me luck! i hope u get what u need. feel better

  • Good luck !!!

  • is a good video i am fro spain(madrid)is very beatifull ole ole y ole y have videos i am the singer.kisses from spain..

  • That's a great idea to get the word out! My mom passed away of leukemia..I wished she would've had a donor:(

  • BRAVO les filles c'qu'il faut beaucoup de joie et d'amour la musique réconcilie  soyons libre et vivons !!!

  • Hey Erica*Eureka* and Jackie this is Eddie from class of 99 @ SJHS.. this is a great video. My family prays for both of you. Your video is a Testament to your great strength and courage. We hope that a donor comes through and know that your video encouraged my family to register.

  • I love it! And BNL rocks!

  • Best of luck to you on finding a donor. Was amazed that someone posted "Just remember that bone marrow extraction is REALLY painful for the donors". Painful or not, you are giving someone LIFE or a chance at life. It's well worth the pain. I signed up to get on the marrow registry and was lucky enough to be a match for a stranger. Was an incredible journey and learned a lot about people in general.

  • I agree with you. I can't believe that comment either. So selfish.

  • Great song, Stay strong. I'm gonna register now, I hope I can be part of the 3% that can be a match. Never give up!!!!

  • super gruß aus Hamburg von Horst

  • this is a beautiful donor, i would help u if u was the right type

  • Good Luck :-*

  • Dommage je ne comprends pas l'anglais bien joué les filles pour le ti compo il manque juste l'ambiance les personnes qui dansent les femmes qui chante les gars qui tape les table a coup de tapatap un bon ti cockail et tout au bord de la mer tous dans un jolie carbet a coup de mélodie guitare a la main la voix en vibration...tout le monde sera chaud assoiffé de musique allez on y va tout le monde vous attend !!! GOOD L
