Annabelle Kopcan, a senior who is majoring in speech language pathology, went way out of her comfort zone to save the life of a stranger. Kopcan donated her stem cells through the Gift of Life Marrow Registry to a man in Florida who was battling a type of blood cancer.

Gift of Life Marrow Registry and the residents of Coastal Club community will host a bone marrow drive for a young Lewes resident battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and in desperate need of a marrow transplant to save his life.

A bone marrow transplant needed for a 19-month old in Lewes. According to the Cape Gazette, Mylz Anderson-Finney was diagnosed in February with acute lymphoblastic leukemia – but your help is needed to find his perfect donor match. This is the most common type of cancer in children – however none of his family members is a match. If you are 18 to 35 and in good health – please join the Gift of Life Marrow Registry. If you’re biracial – you are especially encouraged to participate.

When a patient battling blood cancer needs a bone marrow transplant, their chances of survival are very low unless a match is found. Unfortunately, the chance of an immediate familial match is only 30%. Courtney Ketchum, a former Cancer Center at Illinois student, is supporting patients in their fight against cancer by founding the campus chapter of Gift of Life.

Cancer doesn’t stop for COVID-19 or anything else, says Jay Feinberg — and neither does he. The founder of the nonprofit Gift of Life Marrow Registry in Boca Raton is determined to democratize and redefine cell and gene therapy to save lives. A leading global stem cell donor registry with three decades of experience curing cancers like leukemia with stem cell transplants, Gift of Life will launch a new, for-profit biotech subsidiary this year: Gift of Life Biologics.

Continuing its drive to help others, the Boston University women's lacrosse team participated in several community service initiatives during the spring semester...members of the team signed up for the Gift of Life Bone Marrow Registry, an organization that primarily combats blood cancer. Due to the nature of blood cancer, the most effective treatments are either stem cell or bone marrow transplants, and potential matches are determined through genetic testing.
