Blood stem cell donors from Hawaii are needed
70% of patients do not have a fully matched donor in their family. They depend on Be The Match to find an unrelated blood stem cell donor. Patients are most likely to match someone who shares the same ethnic background.
Due to Hawaii’s diversity, donors from Hawaii can help patients from all over the world.
Donations happen right in Hawaii. Donors do not need to travel to the mainland.
Meet Bradley
The possibility of saving someone’s life, and the people I met through this entire journey, made all the blood draws, the physicals, the surgery, and the recovery, an experience I will remember for the rest of my life.
Meet Courtney
In October of 2010, I was given the greatest opportunity I could ever ask for. I was able to donate my bone marrow to a 4 year-old boy.
