Sharon - Thanks for writing and encouraging people to be part of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry. I recently spent some time in a bone marrow transplant unit at a hospital that is an accredited member of the NMDP Registry while under treatment for a chronic form of leukemia. I learned a lot about marrow transplants and donations from the nursing staff, including the critical need for additional potential donors in the registry.
NMDP helps people who need a life-saving blood or marrow transplant by connecting patients with donors or cord blood units. The registry has the largest listing of volunteer donors and cord blood units in the world, but there is a strong need for more volunteers. I'm sure the patients whose lives are dependent on this organization's work also appreciate your support, as well as their families.
Take good care,
Pat
