LOVE this for our friend Amit.

The past few days my twitter feed has consisted of three things:
1. The Yankees
2. Steve Jobs RIP
3. Help Amit Gupta!

So, I guess the Yankees lost a game or something. Then, Steve Jobs died far too young and sadly we couldn’t do anything about that.

But then, there is Amit- one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. His enthusiasm makes the world seem a little more fun, a little less depressing, and a lot more awesome.

And now very suddenly he’s battling leukemia.

I’m tired of talented wonderful people dying of cancer.  Do not stall. Get a Q-tip, stick it in your cheek and mail it back. The process is free and you can sign up right here. International friends check out this list of registries here.

For those of you who are kinky and like to swab in public with friends then there’s a party October 14th in NYC. More info here.

Please help get the word out any way you can.

If you are in Germany, no problem, because the registries exchange data, and ZKRD in Düsseldorf does so with marrow.org – there is also DKMS, bigger, but only recommended by, not cooperating with marrow.org (teach me better if I am wrong I found out that they all exchange data).
In case you are ever going to give birth to a child, make sure to donate left-over umbilical cord blood stem cells, because they are very helpful here, too.
