20% of donations are taken from the bone marrow. Anesthesia is given so don’t feel any pain during the process.

80% of donations are taken from your blood. It’s similar to donating blood or giving blood during a physical.

  Extremely safe. Donors health and safely is primary concern in determining legibility to donate. Registering is painless. 4 cheek swabs, that’s it.
