Update on Wayne Mangan

Saturday's blood/marrow drive was a huge success! I'm pretty sure they broke the state record for the most people signing up to be a marrow donor at one event. I discovered awhile ago that I wasn't signed up for the donor list (due to a screwup at Alex's old hospital), so I was one of the new additions to the bone marrow registry. It's pretty unlikely, but considering all the coincidences that led up to this point, wouldn't it be great if I turned out to be a match for Wayne. If that happens I will be officially freaked out, in a good way!

how do u get tested for bone marrow.i was wondering if i could help my maiden name is mangan and i thought that maybe i could be a match.

Hi Jean,

The National Marrow Donor Program website has information on where you can sign up to be a donor:

Hope this helps.

About me

  • I'm Todd Martini
  • From Gig Harbor, Washington, United States
  • I own Alex's Coupons, which offers the latest deals and coupons to consumers, while educating them about Childhood Cancer. I started Alex's Coupons back in 2001 to help raise money for my daughter Alex's treatment for Leukemia. Alex was diagnosed at the age of 10 months and underwent 2 Cord Blood Transplants, multiple rounds of chemo, total body irradiation, experimental treatments, etc. Alex is now 3 1/2 years post 2nd Transplant and is doing quite well. Now that Alex is off treatment I've started donating part of the profits from Alex's Coupons to Cancer related charities. Click here to read more about Alex and the rest of our family or view our Evening Magazine story. that aired earlier this year. There was one major error in the story. We do not make $900k each month, as stated at the end of the story. We've generated up to $900k in sales in a single month (12/05), but we're only paid only a small percentage of that amount as commission.
