Hallie's Heroes and partners have had 5,426 bone marrow donor registrants. Since the birth of Hallie's Heroes, we have been able to match 58 bone marrow donors to patients, with 8 going to collections. Through fund raising, we are afforded the opportunity to offer scholarships to other DBA/childhood cancer families and help fund research.
Financially we continue to raise money to help fund research for Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) and childhood cancers while also offering financial assistance to families with children who have DBA or childhood cancer. With that said, the search for possible bone marrow donors to register for the National Bone Marrow Registry does not end. As we continue to raise funds to support research and families with financial requests; our search also continues to register more people for the National Bone Marrow Registry. Our DBA & cancer children need us now more than ever.
Hallie's Heroes was founded to inspire as many people as possible to register as bone marrow donors on the National Bone Marrow Registry, and to support research for a cure for Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) and childhood cancers. Our goals include raising awareness of, and funds for research for these diseases; partnering with Be The Match and our community sponsors; coordinate bone marrow swab drives; and emotionally and financially support families impacted by DBA and childhood cancers.
Hallie's Heroes continues to raise funds for research and to assist families with medical expenses. With that said, we are in need of financial donations so we can continue our mission.
We are also looking to expand the National Bone Marrow Registry so that we can continue to help save lives by finding bone marrow donor matches to those in need of a bone marrow transplant.
DBA and cancer do not discriminate, so neither do we. We are committed to providing assistance to all those that have financial need, no matter their race, ethnicity, gender, or disability.
