Every three minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer.
For patients with blood cancers like leukemia and other life-threatening diseases like sickle cell—a cure exists. You can help patients celebrate more birthdays by swabbing your cheek and joining the donor registry, fundraising or making a financial gift, or by telling others they have the power to cure blood cancer.
How you can make a difference
Join the registry
You could be someone’s only match—their only hope for a cure. It’s easy to join the NMDP Registry. All it takes is a simple cheek swab.
Give a gift
Give a gift to help add donors to the registry, help patients with uninsured costs and fund life-saving research.
Raise funds
Participate in a fundraising event or create your own. Every dollar raised goes to supporting patients and their families.
Support the cause
Make your voice heard through legislation, volunteerism or by helping to grow the registry.

About NMDP
NMDP is a global leader working every day to save lives through cell therapy. For people with life-threatening blood cancers—like leukemia and lymphoma—or other blood disorders like sickle cell, a cure exists. NMDP connects patients with a matching donor for a life-saving blood stem cell transplant. The NMDP Registry is the most diverse registry in the world and includes both adult donors willing to donate to a stranger in need and stored cord blood units. In addition, NMDP provides patients and their families one-on-one support, education, and guidance before, during and after transplant. NMDP is also a global leader in research through the CIBMTR® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research®)—a collaboration with Medical College of Wisconsin, investing in and managing research studies that improve patient outcomes and advance the future of care.
