Thank you, @RepLaHood for meeting with advocate and patient Marsha in your Illinois office to discuss how the Life Saving Leave Act and funding for the national registry will help save the lives of even more patients facing life-threatening blood cancers and disorders.

The selfless act of his donor meant Howie’s family was able to adopt two children. Now, he's heading to D.C. to ask elected officials to support the Life Saving Leave Act, which would remove barriers for donors wishing to give their life-saving cells. https://t.co/UhHHEwBlAm

After Nancy was diagnosed with AML, a bone marrow donor gave her the chance to walk both of her daughters down the aisle. Now, she urges elected officials to support the Life Saving Leave Act so more patients can experience milestones with loved ones.➡️https://t.co/94BVpqcXIe

Army Spc. Christian Sutton's grassroots bone marrow registration drive has become a lifesaving @USArmy-wide campaign. He recently spoke at the U.S. military's premier CBRNE Command, inspiring soldiers and leaders to participate in Operation Ring the Bell. https://t.co/REkhAOYJ17

When Elle was diagnosed with blood cancer at the age of 25, a donor gave her another chance at life. Now, she is hopeful that the Life Saving Leave Act, sponsored by @SenBobCasey and @SenBillCassidy, will save the lives of more patients like her. ⬇️https://t.co/hFoyJrjzc9

We are thrilled that the Lifesaving Leave Act (S. 3685) has been introduced by @SenBobCasey and @SenBillCassidy in the Senate. Take a minute and ask your Senator to support patients with blood cancers by removing barriers for their life-saving donors. ➡️https://t.co/Z2iWh5YcEr

Hooray Senator Casey!

[Just Jess @Jess_K_2]

How amazing is this? Wanda overcame #leukemia thanks to a blood stem cell transplant and is paying it forward to help other patients. She and her husband, Robert, are matching donations to #BeTheMatch in December up to $500K! Check out their story 👉 https://t.co/JxVLPQAhcv

@BTMPublicPolicy advocate Dr. @lcalsfeld from @OchsnerCancer had the honor of attending the New Orleans premiere of “American Symphony!” We continue to be moved by the story of love and devotion between @JonBatiste and @suleikajaouad during her battle with blood cancer.

[NMDP @nmdp_org]

We’re feeling especially inspired by @JonBatiste and Suleika Jaouad’s incredible story. Thanks to our team and partners at @MSKCancerCenter that helped to bring the “American Symphony: Become a Lifesaver” campaign to life! #JoinTheSymphony

[NMDP Advocacy @NMDP_advocacy]

With $4,000 raised for @BeTheMatch and potential bone marrow donors recruited to the registry, a big thank you to advocate @AlyKrasny for coordinating the annual Vball4Life Charity Tournament! Tireless efforts like Aly's make a life-saving difference for patients everywhere. ✨
