Hi! I’m Ellie! ?? I’m a pre-med student with a passion for helping others, and I’m proud to support Gift of Life Marrow Registry in raising awareness about the need to grow and diversify the marrow and stem cell registry.
Did you know that joining the registry could be your first step toward becoming someone’s lifesaver?
It’s simple to join, but the impact you could make is incredible. One day, you could be the match a patient battling blood cancer has been waiting for.
Join me in doing something meaningful today—and giving someone hope for tomorrow.
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 Ellie's story. The more people who order a swab kit and join the registry, the more lives we can save.
