Take Action Now!

You can be a life-saver for people with blood cancer.

Ask your Member of Congress to join the bipartisan Congressional Caucus to Cure Blood Cancers and Other Blood Disorders.

The Caucus seeks to increase awareness about the importance of bone marrow and cord blood transplants on Capitol Hill, as well as remove barriers patients may face when they need a life-saving transplant.

We believe all patients whose lives could be saved by bone marrow and umbilical cord blood transplants should have access to them. Don't you?

Dear [Decision Maker],

I'm writing to ask you to add your voice to an important new group by joining the bipartisan Congressional Caucus to Cure Blood Cancers and Other Blood Disorders today.

Chaired by Reps. David Jolly (R-FL) and Doris Matsui (D-CA), the Caucus is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and peripheral blood stem cell transplants. Transplants can be a cure for more than 80 diseases and conditions, including blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma.



For nearly three decades, patients battling these devastating diseases have depended on the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP)/Be The Match, which operates the national Be The Match Registry, to help find a healthy donor who can offer them a second chance at life.

This has been made possible through critical funding and support from Congress. Continuing this funding is particularly important as patients navigate a shifting health care environment. Congressional action may also be needed to address barriers to patient access such as lack of sufficient insurance coverage or use of narrow health plan networks that don't include a transplant facility.

I strongly encourage you to join your colleagues in their efforts to increase awareness about these life-saving transplants. Please join the Congressional Caucus to Cure Blood Cancers and Other Blood Disorders, and help save lives today.

Thank you for considering this request.

Warm regards,
[Your Name]
