    Today marks the exact date one year ago I received an allogeneic stem cell transplant. This has been a very long year, but this is a big milestone for me! I wanted to share with everyone!

    Here's where I'm going to reel you in (pun intended)

    I could have not recieved my tansplant cells without bethematch.org/ so I ask you all to go sign up and get your free kit in mail. Then it's a couple of forms a cheek swab and put it back in the mail at their expense. That's all you need to do to be on the list. You could help save a fellow reefer or a fellow human. I really didn't mean to be so salesman there...

    Thanks for your time!

    And to share, here is a tattoo I got before my last transplant. This is my thoughts on the whole dealio.

    :)Congrats and great tattoo! The big C has a way of putting everything in perspective. I just passed the 5 year mark recently. I'm really happy for you.
