NMDPSM is a global leader in cell therapy, helping save the lives of patients with blood cancers and disorders.
When you or a loved one is sick with a life-threatening blood disease, knowing a treatment exists is comforting. But many families find that their insurance doesn't cover all the costs associated with a transplant and report that finances are the number one barrier to going to transplant.
These costs may include the search for a donor or cord blood unit, travel and lodging when the transplant center is far from home, prescription co-pays and more.
Community fundraising helps offset these costs and provide more patients the opportunity to get their potentially life-saving treatment.
These funds also allow us to recruit members, especially those from ethnically diverse communities, to the NMDP RegistrySM to ensure all patients have a chance at finding their cure.
Raising funds is pivotal to our work, and your efforts make a difference. Birthdays, 5Ks, at home or at school—fundraise however feels best for you.
