DID YOU KNOW?
 serious diseases including some cancers, immune diseases and blood disorders through a process that destroys the patient's damaged immune system and replaces it with healthy stem cells. Blood stem cells -- regenerative cells that become red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets or plasma cells -- are a basic component of a person's immune system. The new stem cells restore the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow, thus creating a new immune system in the patient's body. It is a difficult procedure for the patient, so it is only used with life-threatening diseases. We know quite a few kids who have only been able to successfully conquer their cancer or life-threatening blood disorder because a stranger somewhere in the world had joined the registry and was able to give them this precious gift. Please join the donor registry - you could save a life!
