I was first made aware of the South African Bone Marrow Registry some years back when I attended a fundraiser for the organisation. I remember very clearly from the presentation that evening the difficulty in matching donors with recipients, and that thought has stuck with me ever since.
So when I received the aQuelle’ Tour Durban newsletter yesterday with a request for participants to support/ride for the SABMR, I didn’t hesitate to reply because I know it is a worthy cause, and it would be my honour.
Statistics
The South African Bone Marrow Registry

The South African Bone Marrow Registry (SABMR) exists to help find matching bone marrow donors for critically ill South African children and adults who need a transplant but do not have a match within their own family. The only one of its kind in South Africa, the SABMR is committed to helping every patient referred to it. If there is no matching donor in South Africa, we take our search worldwide - “We search the world to find your perfect match”.
