Thank you, @RepEricSorensen for signing on as a co-sponsor to the Life Saving Leave Act (H.R. 3024). Your support is vital to help save the lives of thousands of patients facing blood cancers and disorders by giving donors job protection when called to donate life-saving cells.
Thank you for meeting with me and other @NMDP_advocacy advocates, @SenatorDurbin office! We appreciate the opportunity to discuss how continued funding for the national registry and support for life-saving donors will help more patients receive their life-saving transplant.

Our Equality Award recipient is Kristin Akin, a caregiver and fierce advocate! 🌟 Her personal story and advocacy helped us secure an unprecedented funding increase from Congress that allows us to recruit more donors and help more patients at the point of diagnosis. #ONEForum
For blood cancer patients like Maureen and Marsha, finding a matching donor is often their only hope. 💚💙 That's why @BTMPublicPolicy advocates are meeting with lawmakers like @RepLaHood to help #ProtectDonorJobs. Just 40 hours can save a life! ⬇️ https://t.co/5IiAZvY1N3
"The most viable donors come from the 18-24 age range, so you’re getting a lot of adults who are just getting out of college and might be worried about their job security," - Maureen, blood cancer survivor. Our efforts to #ProtectDonorJobs will give more patients a second chance.
A big thank you to @RepLaHood for meeting with two of our @BTMPublicPolicy advocates today about the Life Saving Leave Act. A national and uniform policy will allow more potential donors to say “yes!” and help save more lives without risking their jobs. #ProtectDonorJobs
A big thank you to @SenatorDurbin staff Fiona Flory for meeting with us today regarding donor job protection legislation! A national and uniform policy will help more potential donors say “yes!” to helping save a life. #ProtectDonorJobs @BTMPublicPolicy
Our passionate @BTMPublicPolicy advocates enjoyed our first day on the Hill! After many meaningful conversations with lawmakers and sharing donor and patient stories, we're ending the day even more excited about the Life Saving Leave Act to #ProtectDonorJobs.
Welcome advocates to Washington D.C.! It's going to be a great week engaging lawmakers about the importance of a federal job protection. Let's #ProtectDonorJobs - no donor should have to choose between their job and saving a life!
Congratulations to Advisors Maureen Leuba and Karen Kramer! Thank you for your excellent work in the Great Lakes Region and Pennsylvania recruiting and engaging advocates to save more lives through cellular transplant. 🙌

@MichaelBuller99 @BeTheMatch Best wishes for a successful stem cell transplant and recovery 💙💚. I recently celebrated my stem cell transplant anniversary from an unrelated donor who donated her cells to me ten years ago.
