Support the National Marrow Donor Program

Dear [Decision Maker],

Every year, 10,000 patients in this country need a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant, yet only half receive one. Often, a patient's only chance at survival is a transplant from someone outside of their family.

The National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) is the global leader in providing transplants to these patients. Over the past 25 years, the nonprofit organization has made more than 50,000 transplants possible. But more can and must be done.

* Personalize your message

I urge you to support continuing appropriations to help the NMDP come closer to meeting the needs of every patient. Congress has played an important role in helping build the registry, which now has more than 10 million volunteers and nearly 165,000 cord blood units. A continued investment will mean that more donors can be found and more lives can be saved.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
