Team Jo and Friends Needs YOU!

Join the stem cell / bone marrow donor registry today!

US Citizens (age 18-60) click here to register with "Be The Match".

Outside US click here to find your registry

Our goal - to register 100 Donors in 100 Days.  We have 79 donors registered and about 3 weeks left in our drive.  Don't wait!! 

Registering on-line takes about 10 minutes.  You are mailed a cheek swab kit and you return it in the mail.  Painless and easy!

If you are found to be a match, in most cases stem cells are collected from the blood stream similar to donating blood and you will have flu like symptoms for a few days.  This method requires no surgery!!

Please share this info with your friends.

Jo Thompson Szymanski (stem cell transplant survivor) and
Carol Morris (caregiver/friend)
