Sprained Ankle Saves Running Back's Life

Post by Schmoe »

The Ivy League's leading rusher last season sprained his ankle early this season...and it saved his life:

I just thought that this story should have been much more publicized (instead of poor sportsmanship, cheating, etc.).


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Thanks for posting that, really enjoyed it. One of my sons has gone through some drastic stuff in the last month healthwise, so I appreciate what the family has gone through.

That was good. It's stories like this that made me finally man up and get registered as a bone marrow donor. These days all they do is swab your mouth, log your DNA, and put your information on the registry. If you're matched all it requires is a blood donation I believe. A really easy way to save another person's life.

That's really cool, where can I go to get registered?
