Additional Information
70 percent of people in need of a bone marrow transplant have to go outside of their family to find a match. By entering the registry, you are potentially saving the life of someone with Leukemia, Lymphoma, or other blood disorders. Less than 1 percent of people who join the registry are able to donate. For those 1 percent, most just donate blood.
