SheKnows Puts Focus on Bone Marrow Awareness – Pledges to Add 50,000 Donors to International Bone Marrow Registry by Next Year

SheKnows.com, one of the fastest growing online destinations for women, announced today the launch of their dedicated feature site (www.SheKnows.com/bone-marrow) promoting bone marrow awareness and offering its users the chance to participate in this life saving movement by registering for a bone marrow donor kit.

Search Process

Every day, thousands of patients search the Be The Match Registry® (operated by the NMDP) of more than 8 million potential bone marrow donors, which include the over 2.6 million DKMS bone marrow donors.

If no one in your family is a match and you are in need of an unrelated donor, your transplant center can search the Be The Match Registry for you. We work together to help you find the best possible bone marrow donor.

There are more than 150 NMDP transplant centers. Review each center’s experience, matching statistics, costs, and record for specific types of blood diseases before making your final choice.

Search transplant centers by state.

The transplant process and recovery may extend over a long period of time. Therefore, it is important to choose a transplant center where you feel comfortable.
