Marrow transplants help save the people with life-threatening blood cancers, such as leukemia or lymphoma, as well as sickle cell anemia. Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. Patients are most likely to match someone who shares their ethnic background.


 


Registering takes 10 minutes and involves use of a registration kit to give a swab of the cheek cells. For further information, contact Heather LaCasse at Be The Match, 860-308-4182 or hlacasse@nmdp.org.
