You, too, can be help people like OP! It is easy to join the donor list! I'm copying my comment from the last time bone marrow donation came up.
Here are some links with information on how you can join the registry in your country to potentially be matched as a donor. In general, they all add you to the same list. It does not matter which one you use, and you should not register with more than one because it's expensive to add you and doctors can search all of them for the best match.
US: (all are good choices, all the same list, does not matter which you choose)
And if you're already registered but have moved, make sure to let them know!
Adding a personal story. I organized a registration drive back in 2005 or so. Once every couple years or so I get an email (as the organizer) letting me know that someone who registered that day matched. It's a pretty amazing feeling. Think about if you're in a place (work, college, high school, etc) where you could get 10, 100, or 1000 people added to the registry. You can literally save many lives.
Also adding links for organizing donor drives: Gift Of Life and Be The Match They make it really easy for you. They'll send you a box full of everything you need.
