The NMDP is in need of more volunteers, particularly nonCaucasions, willing to donate bone marrow. The organization also needs monetary donations to help meet the $50-$75 cost of testing each potential donor. An estimated 16,000 children and adults are stricken each year with leukemia, aplastic anemia and other blood-related diseases. For many, the only hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant. Without a transplant, the long-term survival rate is 0 to 15 percent. . With a transDlanL their chances in crease to between 30 and 80 percent. Of the thousands who could benefit from a marrow transplant, nearly 70 percent cannot find a suitable match within their families. These patients need to find unrelated donors ? people willing to come to the assistance of someone they may never meet. If you would like to help someone with a blood disorder, become a donor.
