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.
