About NMDP
For people with life-threatening blood cancers—like leukemia and lymphoma—or other diseases, a cure exists. NMDP connects patients with their donor match for a life-saving marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. People can contribute to the cure as a member of the NMDP Registry, financial contributors, or volunteers. NMDP provides patients and their families one-on-one support, education, and guidance before, during, and after transplant.
NMDP is a nonprofit organization that matches patients with donors, educates healthcare professionals, and conducts research so more lives can be saved. To learn more about the cure, visit NMDP.org or call 1 (800) MARROW-2.
