Amazing Drive Organizers
DKMS Americas is also a fantastic organization. In fact, they were amazing at Liam's bone marrow drive in PA and we will definitely be working with them again in the near future. - Michelle Schulze, mother of the late Liam Schulze
DKMS Gave Me A Chance to Help
"My life has been affected by a blood disease. My mom was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and I have been reaching out to help find a cure and be an advocate for leukemia,lymphoma and other blood diseases. I signed-up as a bone marrow donor in hopes to help save a life and to raise awareness of the need for more donors. Thanks to the tremendous help and support of DKMS, they enabled me to organize a bone marrow drive here in New Mexico. Thank you so much for helping me make such a profound difference in so many patients and families lives." Nicole Miner, Miss New Mexico 2009
Thank you for everything you have done
“You have been wonderfully supportive and your organization is heads and shoulders above the rest. Thank you for everything you have done.”

DKMS is an incredible charity
"My own charity, Believe, works specifically with children in need and with children with leukemia. My charity will continue to work with DKMS because you can really see the results."

“We turned to DKMS for help. Thanks to the amazing work that DKMS does, we are able enjoy our twin boys for many years to come.” – Xander and Carrie, parents of Keane and Ethan
Identical twins, Keane and Ethan were born beautiful, healthy boys on October 13, 2006. In February 2007, Ethan became ill and was diagnosed with Hemophagocitic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a very rare blood disease.A further test found that the HLH was genetic, which meant that Keane also had HLH.
In 2007, Giovanni received the transplant that has given him a second chance at life.
Meet Giovanni, born July 24, 2006, a happy and healthy baby. When Giovanni was just 6 weeks old, he began getting life threatening infections and after months of hospitalization was diagnosed with NEMO, a rare and severe immune disorder.
His parents were told he would die before his 1st birthday without a marrow or cord blood transplant.
"I would not hesitate to do this again."
“Feelings of hope for the recipient and his family made my experience well worthwhile. I would not hestitate to undergo this procedure again.”

"Not a lot of people know that leukemia is the most common disease children die of in the U.S. Most children and young adults can be given a second chance if a match is found. However, only 2 out of 10 patients end up getting the life-saving treatment. I think it's amazing that Pat, who is organizing donor drives with DKMS is being an advocate for bone marrow registration at such a young age, he is such an inspiration. "
