I don’t reblog other things often, but please help Amit. He’s super-awesome and I want him to be well again.

If you’re in Brooklyn tonight, you’ve gotta go to this!

It’s a swab event for Photojojo’s founder Amit who recently found out he has leukemia. You can help him beat it for good.

Brown Bones Swab Party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
—- Friday, 4 November 2011

Would you brush your teeth twice if it could save someone’s life?

What if it was this guy? His name is Amit Gupta.

Maybe you’ve never heard of him, but Amit has touched the lives of thousands of people. We’re hoping maybe you can touch his.

He has leukemia. If he can’t find a marrow donor soon, he will die. He is Indian, so his best match will probably come from a South Asian donor.

Come to our free party on Bedford Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY this Friday night 4 Nov 2011. Sign some forms, swab your cheek (it’s just like brushing your teeth), and have a drink on us. Plus cupcakes and dumplings.

Time is REALLY short. Amit has until November 30, 2011. Please help us save his life. More details at www.AmitGuptaNeedsYou.com

p.s. Most modern day marrow donations occur via PBSC, a procedure similar to donating blood. All you have to do is sit there. Saving a life has never been so easy.

p.p.s. Amit started a popular website, Photojojo.com. When he sends people products from the site he includes a couple of plastic dinosaurs. Just for fun, because dinosaurs are cool. That’s the kind of guy he is. Selfless, caring, honest. We’d like to keep him around. If you’re South Asian, please visit www.AmitGuptaNeedsYou.com Drop everything if you have to. His life depends on it.
