DKMS is proud to have celebrity support to get the word out and help save lives. We would like to recognize the following individuals for their work to raise awareness in the media and in the lives they touch through their work.
Leona Lewis
"Not a lot of people know that leukemia is the most common disease children die of in the U.S. Most children and young adults can be given a second chance if a match is found. However, only 2 out of 10 patients end up getting the life-saving treatment. I think it's amazing that Pat, who is organizing donor drives with DKMS is being an advocate for bone marrow registration at such a young age, he is such an inspiration." -Leona Lewis
Cindy Crawford
"This is a cause that is very close to my heart and I hope we are able to raise awareness and funds for DKMS."
"I think DKMS is an incredible charity because you can really see the results. My own charity, Believe, works specifically with children in need [and with children with leukemia]. My charity will continue to work with DKMS, because together we can help save lives and make a difference."
