Fundraise to help save lives
All proceeds from NMDP Unite go toward programs critical to our life-saving mission, including patient grants that support thousands of families through treatment each year. NMDP grants remove the #1 barrier or burden to transplant reported by patients—the costs. We need your help to make hope happen. Start fundraising today and then join us on Sept. 20 to celebrate!

Rob, blood stem cell recipient
Over ten years ago, I was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome and required a transplant. Thanks to the collaboration of NMDP with other donor registries around the world, my life-saving match was located—a young woman from northern Poland. It’s hard to put into words how grateful I feel for my donor and to all of the staff at NMDP who work so tirelessly. I am fundraising in honor of thousands of donors who step up to give a life-saving gift to a patient in need.
Jenny, NMDP courier
I have been an NMDP Courier for almost six years now. It has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. I am savvy, patient and obsessed with details enough to travel almost anywhere, at almost any time to pick up a [blood stem cell] product from a donor and deliver it to a patient, no matter how far apart in miles the two may be. I am proud and honored to help raise money so that our mission continues for everyone who needs NMDP's help.
Parth, transplant recipient
I was diagnosed with aplastic anemia. The hospital time was soul crushing. With limited donors for Asian Americans, rigorous chemo and a year to recover, this journey was expected to be a long. Fast forward from grueling months of anguish and suddenly my marrow has started reproducing again on its own! I am fundraising for those that continue to live with these diseases. Just one match can change everything, forever.
