Join the Registry...You Could Save a Life
Please join the registry to help me and many others like me find our perfect marrow match.
The registration process is very easy and pain free. It takes only a few minutes and consists of filling out a questionnaire and 4 quick swabs of the inside of your cheeks. No needles, no blood, just your saliva. It couldn’t get any easier than this.
If you are unsure of what registering to become a bone marrow donor entails, please click (HERE) to become more informed. Once you are ready to register, there are three different methods.

You could help one of these people have a second chance at life. Ethnicity Matters as most will find matches within their own ethnic groups. Will you help them by joining the registry or spreading the word about their need to people you know? As you can see blood cancers and bone marrow diseases effect people of all ethnicities and ages. Medicine has advanced so that now 70% of donations are given by blood and people can register at home with a mail in kit using cotton mouth swabs.
