In my previous post I stated I will be heading on over to Saint Paul’s in Hempstead for the bone marrow testing for Michaella, and I did. Although we ended up getting there 30 minutes before it was over I was overwhelmed by the amount of people that were there. After speaking with one of the volunteers, she told me that it was packed the entire day with a constant stream of people coming in for testing of all ages. So naturally I had my camera with me and I grabbed this quick snapshot, nothing special but rather to illustrate the number of people participating 15 minutes prior to the end of the day.
Another testing site has been setup for January 22 from 2PM until 9PM at St. Catherine’s in Astoria. To verify the times and date call the church office at 718-728-1718. If you weren’t able to make it yesterday make an attempt to go on 1/22. Trust me the test is painless, and you will feel good about yourself when you leave. But most importantly just think if you are that one individual who is a match, what it will it mean to her and her family.
