We have the power to act and provide life-saving solutions. Together. Below is a great example of this...

We are facing challenges unlike any we have ever seen. But, it is not in our makeup to do anything other than everything possible to get a patient the transplant they need. Just like those at the #COVID19 frontlines, we do not intend to stop. nature.com/articles/s4140…

The respect and admiration I have for the couriers depicted in this video, and for the scores more who are bravely and selflessly doing the same every day, runs deep. Same goes for my colleagues who tirelessly direct that traffic. Inspiring.

Thank you, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Homeland Security for collaborating with us to clarify that donors of bone marrow and blood stem cells are critical and essential during #COVID19. Even now, blood cancer doesn’t stop and neither do our donors as we work to help our patients. ms.spr.ly/6018T5qtC

I so regularly these days think about the real heroes. People in the trenches, doing brave things in service to others. Decided to say it out loud here. Just a few of those top of my mind today. So many more, I know... @DrMiguelPerales Krishna Komanduri, MD, FASTCT @BldCancerDoc @sgiraltbmtdoc 🙏

Extending my personal thanks, as well, to Lockheed Martin for making this lifeline available to patients in need of transplant. What an extraordinary relief to have this option available to make sure no patient goes without their life-saving transplant due to travel obstacles.

This act of support and partnership by Lockheed Martin has already worked to provide patients in the U.S. with a second chance at life through bone marrow transplant. And for that, we are genuinely grateful. Thank you! @BTMPublicPolicy @BeTheMatch

Extending my personal thanks as well to our new friends at Spirit Airlines

Thanks for this, Krishna. I lost my brother in April of this year, far too young, to colon cancer. Anything that can be done to erase the stigma of testing is valuable and appreciated. Thanks for that. Stay safe and well!

Thanks, my friend. Exactly why I’m so appreciative of your tweet. More testing means a better chance at survival. And that means a lot. I’m hoping someone out there is motivated to schedule their colonoscopy today.

Scott would have turned 51 today, but cancer took him far too soon. Thinking of Kate and Izzy and Arlo today. And my mom, too. I miss him every day. Early detection is so, so important. If you’ve been putting off your colonoscopy, please consider making that appointment today.

Mr. Bilirakis, thank you, again, on behalf of the team at @BeTheMatch and the patients we serve. We are grateful for your leadership and advocacy. Gus Bilirakis

Thank you, Congresswoman Matsui, on behalf of the team at @BeTheMatch and the patients we serve. Your advocacy and leadership in support of our mission to save lives through cellular therapy inspires us. Rep. Doris Matsui

Thank you to Harry Glenn for helping NMDP/Be The Match secure a life-saving travel waiver that allowed couriers to transport stem cells internationally during lockdown. Thank you for supporting our life-saving mission and congratulations on winning the Lives Award at #ONEForum!

Seem that no matter how many times I’ve watched this, the overwhelming sense of pride in the community of people who made this happen hasn’t gone away. And that community hasn’t stopped. And won’t. We got this.

📢📢UPDATE: The TRANSPLANT Act passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support! 🇺🇸 Grateful to be one step closer to renewing our federal Program and the Nation's registry! 💚💙vimeo.com/304901306

Thinking of Scott this morning on what should have been his 52 birthday. Miss him every single day. If you’re due, please schedule your colonoscopy. It’s a bummer, I know. But it might be the most important thing you ever do. I’d appreciate it. Scott Lindberg

The #ONEForum is underway and we're ready to be inspired together, learn together and save more lives! Thank you to @TheLionessMusic for the words of inspiration! 💙💚 #BeTheMatch
