Meet Ioan, a selfless bone marrow donor from Wales, who was motivated to join the registry by a local child's search for a match. He would go on to be the lifesaving match for Riley, a young leukemia warrior from Texas. His journey of selflessness culminated at our 2023 Be The Match Gala, where he traveled all the way to Minneapolis to meet Riley in person for the very first time.

People can join the Be The Match Registry® – the world’s largest listing of potential marrow donors and donated cord blood units – contribute financially and volunteer. Patients and their families can also turn to Be The Match for support and resources before, during and after transplant.
