Hello everyone! Due to the recent news i though i would make an informational post on the forums, in the hope that it gets noticed by all the great people on here.
First off i want to say that i highly encourage everyone to register to donate bone marrow. I have led two bone marrow drives for military members affected by similar circumstances. Registration is easy. If you can brush your teeth, you can donate. All it takes is a few minutes to fill out an information card and swab the inside of your mouth. Those swabs are then tested and added to a database for possible future use. If you were to be found a possible match (very low chance, less than 1 in 5000) then you would be contacted and asked to undergo further matching procedures. You are then (in case of the military) transported to the testing facility nearest to the recipient. A small amount of bone marrow from the hip is recovered and used to make slides to further confirm a match. Only after this has been confirmed would you actually be given the opportunity to donate bone marrow.
Donations like this save lives, and the odds of finding a suitable donor are so small. Every person added to the registry helps. Any person can make a difference.
To the great developers of the butterscotch family i say thank you for bringing even brief moments of fun and relaxation into our lives with your great game development. I know everything will work out and i think i speak for everyone when i say we look forward to all the greatness that will come from your minds and hearts.
