Register to Be a Marrow/Blood Cell Donor

Take the first step—complete a consent form and provide a tissue sample using a mouth swab. Once you have registered, you will remain on a National Registry until your 61st birthday and there will be no need to re-register. Please keep your contact and health information updated.

Anne

Anne registered in May of 2001. Five years later she received a call from the donor center informing her that she was a match. She said, “ It was really nice to know that I could possibly be able to help someone who is trying to survive”. Anne said as a potential donor, she answered the health history questionnaire and gave some blood to test before the actual donation. She said, “I never had any hesitation. If I had, I would not have registered in the first place. I think it is only fair to the patient, once you make that commitment to go ahead with the process if you are called”.

When people ask her about her donation she says, “It doesn’t matter. It was never about me, it was about that person who needed my help”.

Anne’s patient is doing well. She hopes to meet him some day.
