Two Life-savers
University of Missouri students, Regan and Stefanie, each registered with DKMS, the world's largest bone marrow donor center, to become bone marrow donors. These young ladies were both found as donor matches and they share their experience about donating their bone marrow to help save the lives of two leukemia stricken patients.

Bone Marrow Donors

It's a numbers game. Currently only 4 in 10 patients will find a matching donor that could save their lives. The more people we have in the database, the better chance we have of finding a match for a patient in need. Register today, and you could be the lifesaving match for a patient with leukemia.

Being a Life Saver is priceless – becoming one costs DKMS money
More than 200,000 people every year get registered as potential Life Savers in the DKMS database. Unfortunately, many potential donors cannot pay for all or even some of the costs of their registration. This is why we are particularly grateful for all those who are interested in getting registered and who can cover some or all of their registration costs. Every dollar counts, because every registration costs the DKMS $65. Registration has to be financed by donations. To donate money, click here
