Data and health – It is no wonder that the approach of the German Bone Marrow Donor Centre appeals to us and that we have decided to donate 3,000 euros to the DKMS this year instead of gifts to our customers.

Leukaemia, like other diseases of the blood-forming system, belongs to the group of blood cancers. Stem cell transplants are often the only chance for a cure. However, the probability of finding a matching donor is very low. Only about one third of patients find a donor in their own family, as the tissue characteristics have to match 100%. Therefore, having as large a database of potential donors as possible is crucial to finding the right “twin”.

In addition to the financial support, we have also promoted the project to our employees and found that a large number are already registered with the DKMS and other employees have now registered there.
