Be the Match
Have you ever thought what could you have done in just 10 minutes?

– Save one patient from Leukemia!
For thousands of patients with life-threatening diseases, such as leukemia and lymphoma, a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor is their best or only hope for a cure. These patients depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match – and a second chance at life.
Unfortunately, Iranian community are among the fewest registered donors in the world’s largest listing of potential marrow donors.
Iranian Students’ Association of University of Alberta (ISAUA) in collaboration with Canadian Blood Services and One Match Stem Cell and Marrow Network is holding an awareness event onSaturday, March 5th, 2016 from 10:00 am to 14:00 pm at 0-51 meeting room, SUB, University of Alberta. We will be registering potential donors to join the network with simple 10 minute cheek swab.
