Stories of hope, foundation updates, and news from the bone marrow donation community.
Jeana Moore has walked 4,434 miles across the United States and more than 1,000 across Europe. Her fifth walk is a loop: Seattle up into British Columbia, across to Vancouver Island, back over the Strait to the Olympic Peninsula, and south to Olympia.
August is quieter than September on the blood-cancer calendar, and that makes it the month where the groundwork gets done. Here is what is worth marking, in date order, and what each one has to do with growing the donor registry.
Thinking about hosting a bone marrow donor registration drive? Here is a warm, practical walkthrough: choose your audience and venue, help people find the right registry for their country, keep the sign-up moment simple, and follow up without pressure.
Joining a registry can make you available as a potential match for a patient who needs a transplant. JBF helps you find the official registry that serves your country.
Take it off the screen
A coffee counter, a church foyer, a break room, a race table. Every sheet carries the code that opens Jeana’s walk, and a number to text for anyone who would rather not scan — no app, no wifi, nothing to hand back.
Flyer
One page, for a wall or a noticeboard. The same sheet in three voices.
Table tent
One page that folds and stands on a table or a counter.
