Hi Folks. I have a huge report coming about the Portland Timbers pre-season excitement and MLS2PDX news, but I wanted to get the word out about this:

Led by defender Cameron Knowles, the Portland Timbers are teaming up with DKMS, the largest bone-marrow donor center in the world, to host a bone-marrow donor drive on Sunday, Feb. 8, at PGE Park on behalf of Marcia Williams, who was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2008.

The Timbers’ bone-marrow donor drive will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. inside the pavilion suites at PGE Park. Several current and former Timbers players, including Scot Thompson, Kiki Lara and Chris Brown, will be on hand to participate in the drive and meet with potential donors.
This is an issue close to my heart, so I want everyone, soccer fan or not, to go down to PGE park and join the Bone Marrow Donor registry. For information on who is eligible to join the Registry, go here.
