Every year in the US alone, 18k babies 👶 , kids 👧 and adults 👩 need stem cells as their best treatment option.

Matching is complex and some people never find a match. Minority patients have a harder time finding a match due to limitations in the donor pool.

More than 2/3 of donations are through an unrelated donor.

Adults under 40 can enter the registry easily with a cheek swab @dkms-us.bsky.social or @nmdp-org.bsky.social.
