Personal message
I think the work that SABMR does is amazing in connecting people with leukaemia and other blood and immune disorders and donors who can potentially save their lives.
As someone who has been involved in the sport as a professional athlete and now as a coach and more recreational athlete, it is easy for me to take my health and immunity for granted. I am grateful to have this opportunity to raise awareness for what SABMR does in this small way.
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”.
