September is #Swabtember

What is #Swabtember?

#Swabtember is an initiative started by DKMS to highlight the various awareness months observed in themes during the month of September:

• Childhood Cancer
• Blood Cancer Awareness
• Sickle Cell Anemia
• Hispanic Heritage Awareness Month
• World Marrow Donor Day

Why do we call it #Swabtember? Because the key to joining the bone marrow registry to potentially save someone’s life is swabbing your cheeks.
