About us

DKMS is an international nonprofit where creativity, initiative, compassion, collaboration and strategic thinking are rewarded as we work together to expand our reach, recruit more bone marrow donors and help save more lives. Following the establishment of DKMS, our German predecessor, we were founded in 2004 in the U.S. as DKMS Americas, and since renamed DKMS. With the firm belief that people everywhere can play an active role in saving the lives of others with blood cancers and blood and bone marrow disorders, our mission is to grow the number of suitable bone marrow and blood stem cell donors for patients in need of a transplant. Today, DKMS is comprised of nearly 100 passionate employees and thousands of volunteers who work tirelessly toward a common goal of facilitating successful donations. Many of our employees have personally seen the urgent need for a vast and diverse donor registry, giving the organization an unmatched level of energy, creativity and dedication. DKMS is part of the world’s largest network of bone marrow donor centers, having registered more than 6 million people. Currently, nearly 56,000 those have gone on to donate to a patient.

    ❤ September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month! ❤ This summer, I’ve been clocking miles in preparation for the #MarineCorpsMarathon2024. In 7 weeks, I’ll be running "The People's Marathon" in the nation's capital in support of DKMS US. #DKMS is one of the largest bone marrow and stem cell donor registries in the world, providing life-saving transplants to blood cancer patients of all ages. For many, these transplants are the best, and sometimes only, chance for a long-term remission and cure. This cause is particularly close to my heart as I begin my research fellowship at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and run in memory of my uncle, who lost his battle to multiple myeloma in 2015. With 51 days to go, I'm immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me so far — bringing me close to my fundraising goal of $2,000. If you are able, please consider contributing to my campaign and helping me reach (and hopefully exceed!) this goal. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eaYfyhD5 Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference! Thank you so much for your help and consideration. Please share with others who may be willing to donate! ❤ #DKMS #BloodCancerAwarenessMonth #MCM2024
