That's awesome. Always great to read a story like this.

Send her to me in 7 years.

Platelet donations can help leukemia patients. It takes a little bit longer than blood donation but it is more important for certain patients and far fewer people do it (new window)

how 'bout just 'you're a good kid - keep being a good kid!"

/ignore the lot

Imagine the possibilities....

Oh come on, like people can't afford hats nowadays?
She's wasting her time when she could be cleaning out asbestos or mixing paint.

This message brought to you by the Pro Cancer Foundation (an equal opportunity offender).
The PCF reminds you that hats can't do anything, smoking makes you cool and that paint's not gonna mix itself.

Goooo cancer!

Cool.

/not really

Bring Solo and the Loli to me!

ras django: dont touch the mike baby dont come near it

i started goin bald (widows peaks) 3 years ago, and rather than be the bald guy with the pony tail, i gave up my black hair (yes, it was luscious) for cancer people.

(dnrta;(/csb))

is that like village people?

/Good on you

I knit hats out of human hair so humans with no hair can have hair hats for their hairless heads.

I'm registered as a marrow donor - my dad has some kind of immune system disease (currently no exact diagnosis, even though he's seen countless specialists) and may eventually need a bone marrow transplant - don't mean to threadjack but I'd be eternally grateful to any farkers who would also register. No pain, no $ out of your pocket - they mail you an envelope with some super-sized q tips, you swab the inside of your cheek, and throw the whole mess back in the mail box. You never know whos life you may be able to save.

And to the girl in TFA - keep it up hon, you may only reach a few people/patients, but they will appreciate your efforts more than you ever know. Seriously, thank you.

that's it - take the steps to register. The actual donation of marrow is a bit of an ordeal but it could mean the difference between life and death for someone and you can probably call dibs on their hot daughter or something.

Best of luck to you dad, man.

Nice story.
It's a gamble having a kid, isn't it?

I'd probably get one that turns out to be obsessed by Twilight and Justin Beiber, whatever that is.

So you submitted an article so you could show how cool and thoughtful you are

dude, doing things like you are doing are commendable, when you out yourself as being so commendable, well, in my eyes it cheapens it.

/just sayin

I just finished knitting a hat this evening, so I'm getting a kick (in the head) out of a girl who can do one per day. Either she's really fast, or I need a circular loom. But that's a really nice thing she's doing for those kids. One of my hats this Christmas season went to my mother in law, who starts chem again at the end of the month. Cancer sucks, but at least it's a reason to amass a cool collection of hats.

What about the donation process? What stops me from blood donation is that I have a rabid fear of needles (it's terrible.. granted, not as terrible as what some folks go through, but still). I've heard that marrow donation is a bit painful, but it's an entirely different kind of pain altogether.

Good on ya. I voted for it because not only did I like the headline, it was a good story.

Cheers mate

No, I submitted the article because I thought that it was cool. I posted in the thread to show how cool and thoughtful I am.

well answered

I wish that there was some way that I could send her some yarn to help her out in this endeavor. I think it is a truly great one.

As for all the traditional fark comments, I just laugh them off. This girl has probably contributed more to society at the age of 9 than most farkers will in 90 years!

I don't have the intellect to be a troll, I was making an observation.

and I think Staffist made an appropriate response.

Have constantly hovered around the weight limit for blood donation, so as of this point, never donated :(
I am registered for marrow donation, hopefully if I'm a match I won't be too badly underweight :/

I read that as back hair.

But seriously, good for you! This little girl is pretty awesome too for devoting her time to help others.
