Be The Match Walk+Run

About Be The Match^® Walk+Run – St. Louis

Be The Match® Walk+Run is a fundraising event that helps patients with blood cancers like leukemia find a marrow donor and receive a life-saving transplant.

• Every four minutes someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. It can happen to anyone at any time. But so can a cure – a marrow transplant. The cure for blood cancer is in the hands of ordinary people.
• Most of us won’t have a marrow donor in our family and Be The Match matches volunteer marrow donors with patients who need them.
• The Be The Match Walk+Run raises funds to:
  • add more volunteer potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry®,giving more patients hope for a cure.
  • help patients with uninsured treatment costs, and
  • support continued marrow transplant research
