If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

I could see not being approved as a marrow donor, but not blood donor.
Due to AS being linked to the HLA B27, THAT could be an issue since the marrow recipient would then have the genetic basis to develop the disease. Don't know if it has happened, though. (I donated marrow to my son 20 yrs ago, but he is deceased now. It wasn't mentioned as an issue at the time of the testing pre-transplant. I was only diagnosed last year.)
