|Featured Partner: Be The Match|
Every day, thousands of patients with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases hope for a marrow donor who can make their transplant possible. 70% of patients do not have a donor in their family. They depend on the Be The Match Registry. They depend on people like you.
Patients are more likely to find donor matches within their own racial or ethnic background. For African Americans specifically, we have more genetic diversity than any other race. However, the number of black donors on the national registry is still low.
That's why African Ancestry is partnering with Be The Match to drive awareness and registration among the black community for this important cause. Registration is free, easy and painless (just a cheek swab).
As you search for your past, someone else is searching for a future. YOU COULD SAVE A LIFE!
Be The Match Registry is the new name of the National Marrow Donor Program Registry®. To find out more about the registry, how to join and why it is so important, visit www.BeTheMatch.org today.
