Thanks to Anthony Hall — no relation to Anthony Michael Hall, we presume — for passing along this link to the AOL FanHaus that urges folks to join the national bone marrow registry to help those like the Vikings’ Kenechi Udeze in their battle against leukemia.

Though you can’t directly help Udeze’s fight against leukemia, you can honor it by joining the National Marrow Donor Registry. Normally, there is a cost to join the registry, but during the “Thanks Mom Campaign,” from May 5-19, the charges to join the registry are waived for the first 10,000 online signups. You fill out the form, and then they send you a cheek swab kit by mail. Some irresponsible TV shows make it look like donating marrow is very painful process, but for most people it can be done in a procedure not much different than giving platelets.

A good thought, a worthy cause, and a diversion from Jared Allen-mania.
