oats: 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. ———————————- Brown Bones Swab Party in Williamsburg, Brooklyn - Friday, 4 November 2011 6pm - 9pmNick’s Tea Room132 North 5th St #4iBrooklyn, NY 11211 9pm - 2amBabyCastle’s Closing Party with Wu Tang Clanhttps://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=273665372656340$15 for tickets to the concert, we’ll be swabbing outside —- backup page at http://nickgray.net/brown-bones/ will have all current info View high resolution

replaceface: A few weeks ago Amit Gupta aka SuperAmit on flickr & twitter aka the guy that started Photojojo was diagnosed with Acute Leukaemia.At the moment he is going through chemo, but once done he will need a bone marrow transplant for the best chance of survival. Unfortunately because of his ancestry it’s tough to find a donor as not many people of South Asian decent are on the transplant register. If you are of South Asian decent (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalis, Bhutan, Maldives, or Sri Lankan) you can get a swab kit to see if you are compatible donor. It’s free, painless and takes 2 seconds. If you’re not of South Asian decent or reside outside of the United States, here are some other ways you can help:     •    Organize a photo booth swabbing party!    •    Spread the word! Share this link. Join the Facebook group.    •    If you’re outside the U.S., get in touch here.    •    Or donate to the National Bone Marrow Registry.

photojojo:

Photojojo’s very own Amit (he founded Photojojo!) recently found out that he has leukemia.

He needs to find a bone marrow match - particularly of South Asian descent (Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan etc) - to cure it. 

Help him find a match! Tomorrow, we’ll be taking part in a swabbing party in San Francisco. We want you to come. 

If you’re not in SF, you can still help Amit & others cure their leukemia!

    fragmentedportraits: Amit Gupta - October 2009 - California by Kevin Meredith aka lomokev This Amit Gupta aka SuperAmit as he is know on flickr & twitter AKA the guy that started Photojojo. Amit recently started feeling tired all the time, usually when this happens to a San Francisco start up CEO its just “burn out” but unfortunately this was not the case. It turns out he has Leukemia. At the moment he is going through chemo but once done he will need a bone marrow transplant for the best chance of survival. Unfortunately because of his ancestry its tough to find a donor as not many people of South Asian decent are on the transplant register. If you are off South Asian decent (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalis, Bhutan, Maldives, or Sri Lankan) you can get a free mouth swab kit to see if you are compatible donor (if you live in the United States or Puerto Rico). If your not of South Asian decent or reside outside of the united states you can still help by: re-blogging this tumbler post and genrally spreading the word. Please help Amit is a super cool guy he works hard and is definitely nice to people so deserves a break. View high resolution
