Storage analyst Deni Connor focuses on storage, application and infrastructure management in this twice-weekly newsletter.
EMC employee Nick Glasgow needs a bone marrow transplant. He's suffering from leukemia. Here's the catch – if he was white, he'd be assured finding a match – but Glasgow is one-quarter Japanese and the chances for finding a match are slim.
Everyone needs to run out and get tested, even if their genetic makeup doesn't match Nick's. Testing is easy – it consists of a cheek swab with a Q-Tip. Registering for the test is also easy – log on here and enter your ZIP code to find any donor drives in your area. If there aren't any donor drives then log onto Asian American Donor Program (AADP) and register to order a test kit.
EMC, NetApp and Cisco employees rallied last week to help Nick. Steve Duplessie of Enterprise Strategy Group pledged $5,000 to whoever finds a donor for Nick and $5,000 to the donor. Greg Schulz of StorageIO offered two plane tickets to the donor.
From EMC'er Mark Frederickson's blog comes the following information to let three people know when you get tested since the AADP database takes some time to be updated:
• Carole Wiegand, Nick's mom and fellow EMC employee.
• Stacy Morales, a friend and EMC colleague of Nick and Carole who is helping to coordinate all this.
• Carol Gillespie at the Asian American Donor Program.
Give them your registration ID number, where you were tested and the testing date. This is more than just an appeal, it's an imperative. Help Nick.
