Be The Match
Join Be The One Run(tm) to benefit patients
who need a marrow transplant from an unrelated donor
Atlanta, GA – Atlanta will host the first-ever Be The One Run on Saturday, Oct. 30, 2010 at Atlantic Station. Every step walkers and runners take will help patients receive the marrow transplant they need.
Each year 10,000 patients with leukemia, lymphoma, and 70 other life-threatening diseases need a marrow transplant but have no donor match in their family. They depend on Be The Match® to help them find an unrelated marrow donor and receive the transplant they need.
With a 5K, 1K Fun Run, and Tot Trot, Be The One Run is perfect for the entire family and for people of all fitness levels.
Through Be The Match Foundation®, Be The One Run raises funds to help patients with uninsured treatment costs, support marrow transplant research and add more volunteer potential marrow donors to Be The Match Registry®, increasing the chances that more patients find their match.
