After two unsuccessful transplants from her brother and sister, Nicole didn't know what to do. Her doctors struggled to find an matching donor, partially because her ethnicity created fewer options to find the unrelated transplant she needed.

Thankfully, Mariel found out she was a donor match for Nicole less than a month after she joined the NMDP Registry. With Mariel's heroic decision to donate, Nicole got a second chance at life. Now she's thriving and even got to meet her life-saving donor for the first time just last year!

With your support, we're funding crucial research that's helping more people like Nicole receive their potentially lifesaving cure. That means more access to blood stem cell transplants for people of all backgrounds. Give today at the link and help good go a long way 👇

Helping blood cancer patients one step at a time! 🏃‍♀️

This year's Mimosas for Marrow event supporting NMDP broke records with over 1,058 people joining together to save lives! Mimosas for Marrow began four years ago as a 5k fundraiser race celebrating Oakley, a little girl who battled blood cancer and received a blood stem cell transplant. Oakley's mom, Sam, along with her friend Brittany, started Mimosas for Marrow to fundraise for NMDP and help more patients like Oakley get their lifesaving match. Thanks to their hard work, Sam, Brittany, and thousands of participants are helping good go a long way. 💙

Who would have thought a single post on Reddit would save not just one life — but two!

Noah joined the NMDP Registry in 2018 after being inspired by a simple Reddit post. Years later, he answered the call—not once, but twice—donating bone marrow and PBSC to two patients he’d never met. After his second donation, he got a letter in the mail: his recipient was leukemia-free 💙

One decision. Two lives saved. And a ripple effect that inspired others to join the registry! You could be the one person someone desperately needs for a second chance at life. Be like Noah and join the registry 👉 https://go.nmdp.org/noahsaves

"I felt alone, it was a dark time."

Like so many people, Lynn struggled during her transplant journey and didn't know where to turn. When battling a blood cancer or blood disease, it's important to connect with people who know what you're going through. That's why we established the NMDP Peer Connect program, so patients and families can talk with people who truly understand.
