Saving Lives is a Team Sport

Make The Biggest Play Off The Field.

We are looking for local clubs to help us fight blood cancer by educating their communities and getting involved with the Blood Stem Cell Registry.

No matter the size of your club, we can support you to educate people in your community about stem cell donation and encourage those who are eligible to join. A simple morning tea or 15 minute meeting is all it takes. A little effort for a big impact!

The Need for Diversity

Patients are more likely to find a match with donors of similar ethnicity. Those with ethnically diverse backgrounds often face challenges in finding suitable donors.

Currently the make up of the Australian donor registry is about 60-80% North Caucasian and the rest are split across small percentages of different ethnicities.

We need more young donors, especially from diverse backgrounds, to ensure every patient has a chance at finding a life-saving match.
