Samiah, South Asian Ismaili Houstonian, needs your help Posted: You can register to become a donor to SAVE A LIFE!
When you join the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) Registry as a committed donor, you unite with other potential donors who know the importance of being there for a patient in need of a life-saving transplant of marrow or blood stem cells. It???s easy to join the NMDP Registry! You must be between the ages of 18-60, meet certain health guidelines, fill out a form, give a cheek cell swab and be willing to donate to any patient in need. (Quite often, those who have been deferred from donating blood due to travel restrictions or low iron are still eligible to join the Marrow Registry.) Throughout the USA, only 7 million donors have registered, and there is a pressing need for more donors from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, particularly within the South Asian communities. Because a matching donor is most likely to be found within a person???s racial or ethnic community, increasing the number of South Asian donors will help more patients receive a second chance at life.
