Do you have what it takes to be a superhero? Stop by the donor drive booth at the post race party and find out how you can help save a life.
YOU HAVE THE POWER
Every day, thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases hope for a marrow donor who can make their transplant possible. Seventy percent of patients do not have a donor in their family. They depend on people like you.
The Need for Diversity
Because tissue types are inherited, patients are most likely to match someone of their own race or ethnicity. People of every background are needed. Registry members from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds are especially needed, so every patient has a second chance at life.
Registry members of these backgrounds are urgently needed:
- Black or African American
- American Indian
- Asian, including South Asian
- Native Hawaiian or other
Pacific Islander - Hispanic or Latino
- Multiple race
To be a match, all you need is to:
- Be between the ages of 18 and 60.
- Be willing to donate to any patient
in need. - Meet the health guidelines.
