The Leukaemia & Blood Foundation (LBF) is New Zealand's leading resource of information specifically for patients and their families affected by leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood conditions.
The Leukaemia & Blood Foundation operates and administers the New Zealand Bone Marrow Donor Registry. We are greatly assisted in this role by our close relationship with the New Zealand Blood Service.
The registry lists more than 7,800 people who are willing to donate their bone marrow (or stem cells) to patients world-wide. The NZBMDR is also part of a worldwide network of volunteer registries, which contains over 11.5 million unrelated donors.
The Leukaemia & Blood Foundation is a member of the Lymphoma Coalition, an international organisation which provides global support to the million people living with cancer of the lymphatic system.
