Description

YOU have the power to cure blood cancer.


Join us for the upcoming Be The Match Walk+Run.


Each year, thousands of patients need a marrow transplant, but have no donor match in their family. They depend on Be The Match to help them find an unrelated marrow donor and receive treatment. The cure for blood cancer is in the hands of ordinary people your hands.


Be The Match Walk+Run is a fundraising event that gives patients with leukemia, lymphoma and 70 other life-threatening diseases a second chance at life. Every step participants take helps patients receive the unrelated marrow transplant they need.

The Be The Match Walk+Run will include a 5K, 1K and Tot Trot.

Visit BeTheMatchWalkRun.org to register, fundraise and volunteer. Sponsorship opportunities are also available, and range from title sponsorships, to sponsoring a water station, to having a booth at the event. The following link has details on local sponsorship opportunities: Be The Match Walk+Run Sponsorship Information

Be The Match Walk+Run raises funds to:

o help patients with uninsured treatment costs,

o support continued marrow transplant research to improve outcomes, and

o add more volunteer potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry, giving more patients hope for a cure.
