Honored to be with stem cell transplant recipient and 3x survivor @Hillary_Husband and many others on behalf of @NMDP_advocacy advocating for the Donor Leave Act and support for @nmdp_org through CW Bill Young Cell Transplant Program!
THANK YOU @SenBillCassidy for championing this bill that will allow more bone marrow donors to say yes! 💙
@lcalsfeld and I really appreciated the chance to thank your office in person and discuss funding for the @nmdp_org national registry and

Introducing NMDP! Our new name reflects decades of life-saving work as the most diverse blood stem cell donor registry and as leading research and health care partners. Together, let’s imagine a world where EVERY patient can receive life-saving cell therapy.
We’re proud to announce the launch of Break Through Cancer, a new foundation dedicated to supporting multi-institutional teams focused on the most difficult to treat cancers. Read the full press release here: https://t.co/BYBj0dW0Wk #BreakThroughCancer
Join us in asking Congress to renew the federal Program that saves lives through cellular therapy, so NMDP/Be The Match can continue to connect 23 million donors and 500,000 cord blood units to patients in need of a second chance at life. https://t.co/rnzGb7Fvpp #BeTheMatch

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, as a survivor I wanted to share the one quote that's always helped me.
"You don't want to die, you just want to kill how you're feeling right now."
You are valid, you are loved and help is out there. Be stubborn. Stick around.

Which words, in which order, are the release valve to the hitch in your breath?
Which words, in which order, draw pain away from the ache in your heart?
Which words to ease your mind?

Gmorning.
Get what you need—sleep, coffee, a moment to breathe, an overdue talk you’ve been putting off—
so that you have the capacity to be kind. The space to do better.
Make room for the miracle.
Make way for the miracle.
(You’re a miracle yourself, you know.)
