Every four minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. A cure exists! It takes an ordinary person to cure a patient in need. Be The Match is the world’s leading nonprofit organization focused on saving lives through marrow and cord blood transplantation. The Be The Match Registry has connected over 66,000 patients with their life-saving marrow donor. Yet, thousands of patients are still searching for their match.
Join the largest and most diverse marrow donor registry in the world and be the one to cure a patient in need! Registry data shows that doctors request donor’s ages 18-44 more than 90% of the time. Younger donors are best for patients because they provide the greatest chance for transplant success. People between the ages of 18-44, please join our Be The Match Registry!
