Many South Africans with blood diseases and cancers are dying because they cannot find bone marrow donors.  The South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) is urgently seeking more people of colour to register as donors to help give more South Africans a better shot at a second chance at life. Every year, thousands of people around the world reach a critical point in their medical journey where the only possible cure for their condition is a bone marrow transplant. But because donors are usually found in a patient’s ethnic group, and with people of colour representing only 30% of all registered donors in South Africa, many South Africans may not find their lifesaving match in time and many don’t survive.
