Noah needs your help

Baby Noah laying down and smiling

At just 4-months-old, baby Noah is a beautiful bundle of smiles and curious glances. Shortly after birth, however, he was diagnosed with an incredibly rare, life-threatening immunodeficiency disease. Just leaving the house puts him at risk of catching a cold, which his body has a hard time fighting off.

In order to be cured, Noah needs a stem cell donation from an unrelated donor. But he doesn’t have a full match on the Be The Match Registry®.

Noah is multiracial and this makes finding a donor more difficult. Patients are much more likely to match with someone who shares their ethnic background. Unfortunately, a racial disparity exists—the registry isn't diverse enough to help the thousands of patients like Noah who are searching for their match.

By signing up today, you could be their cure!

About Be The Match®

For people with life-threatening blood cancers—like leukemia and lymphoma—or other diseases, a cure exists. Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. People can contribute to the cure as a member of the Be The Match Registry®, financial contributor or volunteer. Be The Match provides patients and their families one-on-one support, education, and guidance before, during and after transplant. ​ Be The Match is operated by the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP), a nonprofit organization that matches patients with donors, educates health care professionals and conducts research through its research program, CIBMTR® (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research®), so more lives can be saved. To learn more about the cure, visit BeTheMatch.org or call 1 (800) MARROW-2.

NMDP℠ is entrusted and under contract to operate the federally authorized C.W. Bill Young Cell Transplantation Program.
