Potential Stem Cell Donor Swab Event May 22, 2010

A stem cell donation could be the last chance of survival for patients around the world fighting Leukemia and Lymphoma among many disorders of the blood.

In Canada, there is a registry for potential donors, but currently more than 83% of registrants are Caucasian. Members from ethnic minority groups are severely under-represented.

You can help by becoming a potential donor by joining Canada’s Stem Cell and Marrow Registry (OneMatch). Registration involves a safe, painless, quick, and non-invasive process to collect a buccal swab sample and answering a few simple questions. The entire process takes about 10 minutes.
