To get started, register online and NMDP will mail you a cheek swab kit. Swab the inside of your cheek, mail the kit back, and confirm your registration by text.

Joining the registry does not mean you will definitely be called to donate. You may never be matched, or it could take months or even years. However, registering means that if you are identified as a match, you are willing to move forward with the donation process.

To register, simply do so on the NMDP website: https://my.nmdp.org/s/join?language=en_US&joinCode=marrow17&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21894551707&gbraid=0AAAAADRYjn-PBU1U4ezaiuwD36FRq6yvQ&gclid=CjwKCAjwpcTNBhA5EiwAdO1S9heuxPe0W3eIoxKrs6Ytrnav8LdeNsvJ7TWVMTKkb6dbXf3R3Y6tPBoCxHwQAvD_BwE
