Saving the world isn't easy, but saving a life is.

There are lots of ways to make a difference . . . donate blood, and register to be a marrow donor. You have it, others need it.

I'm Ready to Join the Registry!

Donate Blood!

Every two seconds someone needs blood and more than 38,000 blood donations are needed every day - one out of every three people will need donated blood in their lifetime. HLH, cancer, bone marrow transplant patients, along with many accident victims, etc. need blood, sometimes daily, during their treatment.

The average bone marrow transplant patient requires 1-2 units of red blood cells every other day for about 4-6 weeks, and 6-8 units of platelets for about 4-6 weeks. Did you know that less than 40% of the general population is even eligible to donate, and only 5% actually do? The demand for blood transfusions is growing faster than donations in this country and we would like to do our small part to increase awareness and increase the number of blood and platelet donors.

Give blood, save lives!

Join the National Marrow Donor Registry - Be the Match!

Thousands of patients with blood cancers and other life-threatening diseases, like HLH, need a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. They depend on Be The Match Registry® to find a match.
