It is said that saving one life is like saving the entire world. When Jay Feinberg was diagnosed with leukemia and told he would need a bone marrow transplant to survive, he had no idea that his personal journey would result in the establishment of a grass roots organization that would later save the lives of hundreds of patients in need. But that's precisely what happened.

Gift of Life is an associate donor registry of the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) and an accredited registry by the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA).

In 2004, Jay Feinberg received the prestigious Charles Bronfman Prize for his accomplishments. Watch the Prize video to learn more about Gift of Life.

I was diagnosed with Myeleofibrosis, a fatal bone marrow disease where the bone marrow becomes extensively scarred, in December of 2007. I learned of my illness when I had an unexpected gall bladder surgery and had uncontrolled bleeding, which resulted in a bone marrow biopsy to determine why I had bled. Though the condition could be controlled by medication, the doctors informed me that I would need a bone marrow or blood stem cell transplant within two years to survive.
