'Be the Match' And Help Save Someone's Life!

Aired August 6, 2023: Are you ready to 'Be The Match'?! Thousands of people are diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, but your DNA could be their life saver! Lisa Foxx talks to Joy King, the Chief Advancement Officer of Be The Match ® , operated by the National Marrow Donor Program ® (NMDP), about the plea for more people ages 18-40 to join the donor registry, in hopes of being matched with someone in need. For patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma and other life-threatening diseases, a bone marrow or cord blood transplant may be their best or only hope for a cure. 70% of patients who need a transplant do not have a fully matched donor in their family. They depend on Be The Match® and their supporters to find a match to save their life. Sign up and find out more at: bethematch.org/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
