Do it for Giovanni
Register with DKMS as a life
saving bone marrow donor
Those of us whom live in New Hampshire held Giovanni close to
our hearts and his recent passing has shocked us all. But the greatest honor we
can pay Giovanni is to continue building his legacy adding more and more life
saving donors to the DKMS donor center. In Giovanni’s favorite movie, “The
Gladiator”, Maximus said: What we do in life echoes in eternity. And everyone
can help Giovanni’s legacy echo for eternity by educating people about joining
the registry and possibly saving the life of another. Do it for Giovanni, save
a life.

We need you! Every day thousands of patients search the Be
the Match Registry in hope for a bone marrow donor match. Only 4 out of 10
patients are lucky enough to receive a transplant. “I lost my mother to
leukemia when I was 14,” stated Katharina Harf, Co-founder, DKMS Americas, “and
I have made it my mission to recruit more donors so that other families don’t
have to go through the pain we did.” “We
need your help so we can save more lives.”

NH
Registering to become a bone marrow donor is more than a
cheek swab; it is a commitment to help save a life. You must be between 18 and
55 and in good general health. When you register with DKMS, you will also be
listed on the Be The Match
Registry® (operated by the NMDP) and can be found
as a donor match for any
patient in need of a bone marrow transplant.
Can’t make it on June 4th? Visit The
Office Suite and register at the DKMS Kiosk in minutes!
The cost to DKMS
for registering a new potential bone marrow donor is $65. DKMS does not receive
government funding and is therefore dependant on donations from the general
public. Every dollar counts!
