There about 3,000 patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia, and other fatal blood diseases around the world seeking a life-saving match. This match comes in the form of a registered bone marrow donor. A bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant is the only cure. This transplant procedure changes their DNA and allows them a new take on life. In some cases if the patient has multiple diseases it will even cure the others. Transplant is a last resort though. So patients seeking a donor are facing an expiration date and desperate to find a match in their family or the registry so that they may not only become healthy but live for many more decades as opposed to years or months.
