Why Become a Marrow Donor?
For thousands of people with leukemia, other cancers, or blood disease, a
bone marrow transplant is the only hope for a cure. Some of these
patients will die if they do not receive a transplant. While there are over 6
million people already registered as potential donors, there are many
people who cannot find a suitable match. You may be the perfect match
for someone who desperately needs a transplant. By becoming a donor,
you can save someone's life.

It's Easier Than Ever
Most people think that a bone marrow transplant
involves removing marrow from the donor's bone.
Modern techniques allow blood stem cells to be
collected from the blood stream. Now, donating
marrow is a lot like donating platelets.
