Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer like leukemia. It can happen to anyone, at any time. But so can a cure—a marrow or cord blood transplant. Patients are most likely to match someone with the same ethnic background and unfortunately of the 22M people currently on the Be The Match registry only 4% make up African Americans. We need your help! Join us on August 13, 2020 at 6PM for the Be The Match We Are The Cure Town Hall to learn about how you can help.
