Please help me champion my community by donating to my fundraiser for Be The Match®.

You probably know someone who’s been affected by blood cancer like leukemia or a blood disease like sickle cell. But did you know there’s a cure? A bone marrow transplant.

Seventy percent of patients don’t have a suitable donor match in their family, so they depend on Be The Match to find a volunteer unrelated marrow donor. 

Be The Match connects patients with their donor match for a life-changing bone marrow transplant and a second chance at life—providing support every step along the transplant journey.

We all have the power to make a difference for our communities and cultures. And by working together, we create a chain reaction of good and positivity.

In doing so, we have the power to save a life like Ruby’s.

Ruby’s a fun, loving, silly 5-year-old (almost 6!). She loves to make videos and record herself playing with her toys. But Ruby has her challenges too. Living with sickle cell disease, she’s already been to the hospital 34 times, endured five surgeries, 14 blood transfusions and countless ER visits.

By donating to Be The Match, you help raise essential funds to add more potential life-saving marrow donors to the Be The Match Registry^®, so patients like Ruby can find their match—and their cure.

This is your moment to make a difference while we wait for a possible searching patient match for our precious stone, Ruby. I have a fundraising goal of $10,000. And if there's anyone who can help us reach it, it's you. Together we can help every patient find their cure.
