I signed up over 15 years ago. At that time, I could not afford 80- bucks . . . Well, I could but I didn't want to. Anyway, they did it for free. So perhaps you can ask them again?

Since that time, I have had two near-opportunities to donate. Both times, some sort of incompatibility was found between the recipient's marrow and mine.

When I signed up, I assumed I would be saving lives on a regular basis. Oh well.
