I recently had the life-changing experience of becoming a bone marrow donor. As I learned more about how many people need a transplant and how small the bone marrow registry actually is, I knew this was an issue I would become passionate about. I want to share with you how surprisingly easy the process is, and to get the word out to encourage everyone to participate! In this video, I clarify some of the misconceptions about donating,explain the process and documented my own experience.Let's create awareness together!! If you believe in the cause, post this on Facebook, email it to everyone you know and use any other social media you think is best. I have a personal mission to significantly increase the registry.

Please let me know if you join the registry by emailing me at Brad@SwabMyCheek.com

  • Does it hurt badly?? or is it equivalent to giving blood?

  • It's a different process than giving blood and a lot more time-consuming. I can only speak from my personal experience...which was virtually painless. I suggest doing your own research. I did write an in depth post about my experience which you may find helpful. let me know if you would like to read it.

  • i would be very interested in reading it, thanks so much.

  • it seems YouTube restricts people from sending links. If you just Google search : "Bradford pine My Personal Experience in Donating Bone Marrow/Stem Cells…Fight Leukemia and Become a Donor" it will take you to my blog post. I hope you find it helpful!

  • Inspirational - thank you for sharing your story. I got "the call" earlier this month and had my blood test today for the confirmatory testing phase. Hearing your description and seeing your pics has helped me be less anxious and more awed. Keeping my fingers crossed to be the match.

  • Thank you so much! I wanted to follow-up to see if you were the exact match?
