Join the National Marrow Donor Registry and you could
save a life.
Simple cheek swab is all it takes
to join!
Every day, thousands of patients are searching for a donor. You could be
the best match for one of these patients. Take the first step to give someone
hope... Join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry through Kids
Beating Cancer.
When you become a marrow donor, you join more than 6 million people who
stand ready to give someone a future. Even with a Registry of millions, some
patients are unable to find a suitable match. You could be the one a patient
needs. You'll never know unless you join.
We see a day when every patient who needs a transplant will have a donor.
With your help, we can move a little closer to that day. Patients need donors
who:
1. Are between the ages of 18 and 60.
2. Are willing to donate to any patient in need.
3. Meet the health guidelines.
4. These guidelines protect the safety of both patients and donors. Conditions
that would prevent you from donating include heart disease and most forms of
cancer.
Join Online
After you complete your registration form and we confirm you meet health
guidelines, we will send you a kit to collect a swab of cheek cells for tissue
typing. We ask volunteers who join online to pay $52 to cover
the kit and
tissue typing costs. This payment is tax deductible.
