Giving hope to blood cancer patients
Supporting patients and their families
Patients and their families are at the heart of everything we do at DKMS. We help and support as many patients as we can in their search to find a blood stem cell donor, giving them hope for the future. To do this, we run patient campaigns to raise awareness and encourage more people to sign up to the register.
Patient campaigns include:
Sharing stories on social media
Using our social media channels, we share patients' stories as far and wide as we can.
Follow our campaigns on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Linkedin, all hoping to find a stem cell donor for everyone who needs one:
Press coverage
We work with local and national newspapers and broadcasters to share patient stories. This helps raise awareness and increase donor registration.
Donor recruitment drives
We work with friends and families of patients, local communities, and volunteers to hold events to inspire and encourage people to register as potential blood stem cell donors. Drives can be set up at:
- workplaces
- sports clubs
- universities
- in your local community, or
- online.

Support groups
We also provide support groups for patients, family, and friends and a supportive community through our Facebook group.
