Register

Sign up to receive your kit. Answer a few questions about your medical history and see if you’re a good fit to join the registry.

It all starts with a swab!

After you register, you’ll be sent a swab kit in the mail.

Swab your cheeks. It only takes 20 seconds and helps us determine your HLA type.

Send your swabs in! Don’t worry, postage is on us. Returning your swab kit is essential to getting you on the blood stem cell registry. Let’s make it official.

Joining the registry doesn’t guarantee you’ll be matched. It can take months or years, but one day, you could be someone’s cure—their HLA match.

When you do match with someone, things move quickly. Patients and their families are depending on you. Your donation equals a stem cell transplant for them … and a second chance at life!
