Give the Gift of Life: Become A Donor

For many leukemia patients, a stem cell or bone marrow transplant is their hope for a long-term, disease-free life. Many people ask me how they can be added to the National Marrow Donor Program so that they may possibly be called upon to donate to save a life.

Visit the website of the National Marrow Donor Program at:

This website also contains information for expectant parents who may choose to donate their infant's cord blood to the Cord Blood Registry.

There is no gift more precious than the gift of life.
