Many of you know Montreal techwriter Emru Townsend, who still does an
occasional bit of techwriting in addition to his many other talents.
Tragically, Emru was recently diagnosed with leukemia, and it looks
like he's going to need a bone marrow transplant.

I know that our community is an amazingly warm-hearted group, so I
thought I'd enlist your aid to help find a donor. The procedure for
being tested is simple and painless, involving nothing more than a
blood test or cheek swab, depending on the preferences in your
medical jurisdiction. Actually donating the marrow is a bit more
complicated and painful, but not such a major thing given how safe it
is and how meaningful it would be if you happen to match someone's
genes well enough to be a donor.

To learn more about Emru's situation, please visit <http://

marrow donor registry, see <http://www.healemru.com/registries.php>.
