Extreme Home Makeover tonight features the inspiring story of a leukemia survivor and her bone marrow donor.

Hope the episode goes a long way to raising awareness about just how easy bone marrow donation is  — and how important to blood cancer patients like Jonathan everywhere searching for the miracle donor who will be the cure they’re searching for.  A simple swab can truly save a life!

Every five minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, such as leukemia and lymphoma. Every ten minutes, blood cancer takes a life. Currently only 3 in 10 patients will find a matching donor that could save their lives.

Check out our friends at DKMS and Be The Match for more on joining the national bone marrow registry today.
