We love a full circle moment! 🔁
Two years ago, Mariel was inspired to join the NMDP Registry after seeing a blood stem cell transplant recipient meet their life-saving donor at @hosafhp’s annual conference.
This year, Mariel returned to the conference as a donor meeting 𝙝𝙚𝙧 recipient, Nicole, for the very first time! 💙

About 75% of patients who need a stem cell transplant don’t have a family match. @trevor.ault shares his journey to donate stem cells after joining the NMDP registry and learning he was a match for someone with bone cancer.
ARE YOU A MATCH? It’s so easy to help someone suffering form one of 75 illnesses which can be treated with a stem cell donation. ❤️🩹

Max needs a stem cell transplant.
In August of 2025, Max had a bone marrow biopsy, and his doctor pointed out “pink flags” associated with MDS, a form of blood cancer.
It is difficult for him to find a perfect match because he is 50% Colombian and 50% European.
The registries are underrepresented when it comes to people who are minorities or of mixed heritage.
His dad, @jpu212 made a TikTok account last week to try find a perfect match for his son Max. His first video got more than 18 million views.
Juan is using his newfound platform to call for action, aiming to get 1 million people registered as potential donors by April 1st. He is encouraging people to request kits, find in person swabbing events or organize their own ( @nmdp_org )

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much we take our kids’ health for granted. As a mom of three little ones, it’s something I quietly am grateful for every day. 🙏🏼
This week I learned about Max, a 15-year-old who is searching for a blood stem cell donor match — and it made me realize how something as simple as a two-minute cheek swab could change another family’s story.
I joined the @nmdp_org blood stem cell donor registry at SXSW today after getting swabbed - and you can too!
If you’re in Austin this week, you can stop by and join the donor registry in person:
📍 VIP Artist Lounge – Downright Hotel (701 E 11th St)
Now–3/18 | 12–8 PM
📍 Block Party – 900 Congress Ave
3/17–3/18 | 11 AM–7 PM
And if you’re not in Austin, you can order a free at-home swab kit through the link in their bio.
It only takes a couple minutes to join the registry, but it could mean the world to a family hoping for a match. ❤️

NMDP Unite ATL was unforgettable 💛
We stood up for Sickle Cell families, raised awareness, and felt the love of our community. But the work isn’t done — patients still need us.
Finding a donor match is only half the battle. Families also face overwhelming financial burdens when accessing lifesaving cell therapy. That’s where we come in.
Every dollar we raise together helps lift that burden and brings hope to families fighting for their future.
@nmdp_org is a nonprofit — they rely on us, the community, to show up. Let’s keep showing up. 💙
👉🏽 Donate now through the link in my bio.
Being interviewed as a stem cell transplant recipient was such a powerful and emotional experience, especially knowing that my own son, who just started university, is part of The NMDP Club at his school.
I am beyond proud of them for raising awareness and working to register as many students as possible. One day, they may be the reason someone gets a second chance at life, just like a young student in Germany did for me.
It’s truly an honor to share my story with these bright, compassionate, and driven young minds. Their dedication gives me so much hope for the future! Together, we can save lives. ❤️ @nmdp_uwmadison @nmdp_org @kentaasars
