How to Save a Life

We'll ask you a series of questions about your medical history to see if you meet basic qualifications.

Receive Swab Kit

We'll need to get a sample of your DNA. Your kit should arrive in the mail within 3-7 business days.

Return Kit

It's easy - just swab your cheek and mail the DNA sample back to us to complete your registration.

Get Matched

Because of the genetic complexity of matching donors to patients, it could be weeks, months or years before you're contacted to donate.

Donate

Be ready if you're contacted as a match. If called, you're a patient's best genetic match from the entire registry and perhaps their only hope for a cure.
