Join "Be the Match"

Kristen has gone to stay for a night or two with a friend. Steven is feeling better but we expect him to need the weekend to fully recover. He's going to need it when he goes to make up a week of school work!

(If you are not able to be a donor consider giving a donation to Be The Match. We received some monetary support from this organization to help defer the cost of maintaining a residence in Houston during the transplant process.)

When you join the Be The Match RegistrySM, you become part of every patient's search for a bone marrow donor. You could be the one to save a life.

It's easy to join the Be The Match Registry:

1. Confirm you meet basic registry guidelines.
2. Complete the online form and order your registration kit. When you join, please also consider making a financial contribution. (Joining does require an application fee. This fee goes towards initial testing of your sample. It is a small fee in comparison to what a transplant costs. The transplant process may cost any where from $200,000 to $500,000 not including the medications associated with transplant!)
3. Follow the instructions in your kit to collect a swab of cheek cells and return the kit.
