On Sunday, September 20th, Vikes Men’s and Women’s Rowing will be joining the Donor Registry for Canadian Blood Services. Following Calgary-born Vikes rower Max Pohl’s diagnosis with bone marrow cancer, Max began an initiative encouraging eligible donors to join the registry where he found a stem cell donor.

Less than 25% of patients who require a stem cell transplant find a donor within their family, and a match for a patient in Canada can only be found about 50% of the time. We encourage all healthy people aged 17-35 to join our effort in broadening the international registry for stem cell donors. A no-cost, 5 minute cheek swab is all it takes. Additionally, generous donors from Max’s team have created 4 monthly drawings for $1000 each for eligible donors! For more information on getting a test kit, dm @vikesmensrowing, @teammaxvscancer, or visit:
