Men give life
Erik's Story
Erik Gudbranson of the Vancouver Canucks talks about the importance of male stem cell donors as part of the #MenGiveLife campaign.
Last year, half of all matched stem cell donations in Canada came from young male donors… Yet, male registered donors only account for 20 per cent of our national stem cell registry.
Male stem cell donors are more likely to be matched with recipients because they offer better patient outcomes after transplant. We are calling for male donors from ages 17 to 35 year to register to become stem cell donors.
