This , we are sharing Rose’s story to highlight why registry diversity can be lifesaving. 💛

Rose is a wife, a mom of three daughters, and a Physician Assistant who has spent her career caring for others. In 2020, she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Rose needs a stem cell or marrow transplant from a donor who shares her tissue type, but none of her siblings are a match.

Because matching is inherited, patients often have the best chance of finding a donor from someone who shares their ancestry. Rose urgently needs a donor with African or Haitian ancestry.

Order a swab kit and join the Gift of Life Marrow Registry today. One cheek swab could be the start of Rose’s second chance. Please share to help Rose find her .

Behind every blood cancer diagnosis is a person with a unique story. This World Cancer Day, the theme reminds us that people must be at the center of care.

With approximately 1.2 million blood cancer cases each year worldwide, patients are searching for the one donor who is right for them.

Join the Gift of Life Marrow Registry with a simple cheek swab or share this post to help us reach someone’s match. 🧡

February is Black History Month. At Gift of Life Marrow Registry, it is also a time to highlight why diversifying the registry matters for blood cancer patients.

Matching is based on inherited tissue types, so patients often have the best chance of finding a from someone with similar ancestry.

If the registry is not diverse enough, patients can face tougher odds and longer waits. Join the registry with a cheek swab and help strengthen the donor pool. 🧡

Donors are sometimes asked to give a booster of white blood cells (a donor leukocyte infusion) a few months after the transplant to help their recipient in the recovery process.

More rarely, a donor may match with an entirely different patient and have the opportunity to save another life! đź’™

Cheek swab kits are tested for Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA), which are a key part of the immune system. HLA markers are inherited from our parents, just like hair or eye color, so patients have the best chance of finding a match with someone who shares a similar ancestry or genetic heritage.

Curious about how recipient updates work after donation? 🤔 Transplant centers may send recovery updates to Gift of Life Marrow Registry, and whenever we receive them, we make sure to pass the news along to you.

Keep in mind that every center follows its own schedule, and some do not send updates at all. Thank you for your patience and compassion as each recipient’s recovery journey is unique.

Meet Julius and Alec this . đź’™

Julius was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia at 14-years-old. His family was frightened, but hopeful as they waited for a donor. Alec, who joined the Gift of Life Marrow Registry during his 2018 Birthright Israel trip, became the one match Julius needed.

They met for the first time at One Huge Night NY in 2023, sharing tears, gratitude, and a moment no one will forget.

“You not only saved Julius’s life, but our family,” said Julius’s father.
Alec said, “The real heroes are Julius and his family.”

College-aged donors give patients the highest chance at a successful transplant. According to our donor guidelines, younger donors produce stronger, more active stem cells, and doctors request donors between the ages of 18 and 35 most often. Students play a critical role in saving lives, which is why our Campus Ambassadors work to educate their campuses and grow the registry every day.
