Hi, I’m Joziah, a Senior studying finance at Florida State University, and I’m beyond excited to launch this Donor Circle. I created this circle because saving a life shouldn't depend on luck, it depends on us.

Registering as a bone marrow or stem cell donor takes just a few minutes, but it has the power to give someone a second chance at life. Every single person who joins the registry brings us one step closer to finding a match for patients fighting blood cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. Take two minutes to sign up today, your swab could truly be the lifesaving gift someone is waiting for!

Details about joining the registry:

• Join the registry! Click on the blue "Join Registry" button. 
  • Donors in general good health between 18 and 35 years old may join the registry. Donors over the age of 35 can also join, but we ask that you to please donate $60 to offset the lab fees – Click here to learn why.  
  • Eighty percent of donors requested by transplant centers are 18 to 35 years old for medical reasons – Click here to learn why Age Matters.
  • Donors can remain in the registry until their 61st birthday – Click here to learn why the registry has an Age Limit.
  • Certain medical conditions may mean you are not able to join the registry or donate – Click here to check the Conditions List. If you're not sure, a health history questionnaire is part of the registration process.
• Spread the word. Use the social media links to the right to share Joziah's story. The more people who order a swab kit and join the registry, the more lives we can save.
