Healthy people may look upon me as weak because of my illness, but my illness has given me strength that they can't begin to imagine.

In the last 10 years I have met 2 people who got a donor on that site. I have heard that they have 1,000 donors and 10,000 to 15,000 registered patients seeking donors.

And it costs money. Your time would be better spent - in my opinion - signing up with multiple transplant centers and posting on facebook. I worked with them and got nada. I have had a transplant from a most unlikely source - a stranger who happened to meet my sister at a 3-day breast cancer walk.
