Patients at Texas Children\u2019s Hospital participated in the second annual \u201cBe The Match\u201d walk on the hospital\u2019s Bone Marrow Transplant Unit to drive awareness about Be The Match<\/a>, the largest and most diverse marrow registry in the world operated by the National Marrow Donor Program. The walk was a precursor to the Be The Match Walk + Run that took place on Sept. 13, raising funds to support patients who need a marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant and helps them find a donor and receive treatment.<\/p>\n

Patients on Texas Children\u2019s Bone Marrow Transplant Unit are often immunocompromised and the on-unit walk allows them to participate in a way that is safe as they undergo or are recovering from treatment. Dr. Robert Krance,\u00a0chief of the Bone Marrow Clinic\u00a0and director of the\u00a0Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Program\u00a0at Texas Children’s Hospital,\u00a0kicked off the walk as patients were cheered on by their parents, family members, doctors and nurses.<\/p>\n

Every year, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, sickle cell anemia or other life-threatening diseases. Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on the Be The Match Registry to find a match to save their life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
