Take 7 Minutes. Save a Life.
Every year, more than 60,000 people in the United States die from blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Behind that number are real stories: parents, children, coworkers, friends—people who didn’t get the second chance they desperately needed.
This May 28th, on World Blood Cancer Day, we’re asking you to pause, reflect, and take action. In just a few minutes, you can help save someone’s life by joining the DKMS stem cell registry.
What Is Blood Cancer? Why Is This Day Important?
Blood cancer affects how blood cells are produced and function. It begins in the bone marrow—the source of all blood cells. For many patients, the only hope of survival is a stem cell or bone marrow transplant. But 70% of people who need a transplant don’t have a matching donor in their family.
That’s where strangers like you come in.
By joining the DKMS registry, you’re offering hope to someone who may have exhausted all other options.
This isn’t just awareness.
This is action.
What Is World Blood Cancer Day?
World Blood Cancer Day (WBCD) is a global movement to raise awareness and drive action in the fight against blood cancers. It’s a day to recognize the lives lost, celebrate survivors, and—most importantly—help those still searching for a donor.
At DKMS, our mission is to ensure every patient finds their lifesaving match. With your help, we can get there.

By joining the DKMS donor registry, you could be matched with a patient anywhere in the world who needs a stem cell transplant to survive.
