At NMDP, we believe each of us holds the key to curing blood cancers and disorders. As a global nonprofit leader in therapy, NMDP creates essential connections between researchers and supporters to inspire action and accelerate innovation to find life-saving cures. With the help of blood stem cell donors from the world’s most diverse registry and our extensive network of transplant partners, physicians and caregivers, we’re expanding access to treatment so that every patient can receive their life-saving cell therapy. Find cures. Save lives.

Do donors need the same blood type? We hear this question a lot! 🩸

Short answer: no.

Blood stem cell matching is based on HLA—and clearing up this misconception could help more patients find their life-saving donor. That's why we created free, in-depth videos that break down the basics of blood stem cell transplants in a clear, engaging way. Here's how to watch:

After four decades of coaching football, University of Houston Cougar Football's Donn Landholm faced his greatest challenge yet—a rare blood cancer diagnosis in 2024.

With incredible support from his family and a life-saving blood stem cell transplant from a selfless stranger in 2025, Donn's back on the field. Today, he's deeply committed to giving back and he's helping inspire new registry members at a campus recruitment drive this week.

His message to potential donors is powerful: "It only takes a limited amount of time, but the positive impact is exponential."

Some heroes say yes more than once. 💙

Mark joined the NMDP Registry in college as a simple way to make a difference. When he got the call that he was a match for a patient who needed a blood stem cell transplant, he stepped up without hesitation. And when he was called as a match a second time, he did it again.

As Mark shared, “Joining the registry and staying committed has to be one of the easiest ways to serve someone. It’s free, takes 5 minutes, and you could turn out to be someone’s cure!”

"We are forever grateful to NMDP for saving her life with a donor match and for supporting our family so we could be present during the hardest time of our lives." -Troy and Ashley, Aspen's parents

After being diagnosed with leukemia, Aspen's doctors agreed that she would need a blood stem cell transplant to recover. Thankfully, a patient financial assistant grant from NMDP helped her family to be right by her side throughout treatment and recovery. Five years later, Aspen is thriving! Now, her family is helping good go a long way by advocating for other just like her. 💙

What started as a way to cope became a way to give back. 🏃‍♀️💙

When Serrie’s husband, Brian, was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2022, running became her sanctuary. It was her source of strength through long hospital stays and the uncertainty of treatment.

After Brian received a life-saving blood stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor in late 2023, Serrie decided to turn her miles into a mission. Today, she’s fundraising through NMDP Endurance to ensure other families can find the same hope they did. So far, Serrie's already raised over $2,700 after completing a half marathon in NYC!

“My husband and I are forever grateful to NMDP for finding him a stem cell donor... it meant so much to me to give a little bit back so that others can have this too.” —Serrie

One decision in college led to a life-changing call. 💙

Matthew joined the NMDP Registry on campus, not knowing if he'd ever be a match for a patient in need of a blood stem cell transplant. When the call to donate came four years later, he stepped up to give a stranger a second chance at life.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a difference. Wishing the absolute best for my match." -Matthew

At just 11 years old, Cate has already faced more than most.

She was diagnosed with bone marrow failure as an infant and has spent years experiencing bone pain, transfusions and biopsies. Through it all, she remains an imaginative and empathetic kid who loves reading, writing and cheerleading.

Cate's family has already inspired more than 2,000 people to join the registry, but she still needs a matching donor. After a recent biopsy revealed a mutation that could lead to malignancy, the search has become even more urgent.

“We want to do anything we can and hopefully it will help not only Cate, but others too.” -Jenni, Cate's mom
