Match it now 2024

27.09.2024

Learn more about becoming a bone marrow donor at the ADMO (Associazioni Donatori Midollo Osseo) Match it Now 2024 event. As part of World Bone Marrow Donation Day, Padua and cities throughout Italy participate in Match it Now events to raise awareness among young people between 18 and 35 about donating bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells.

Unfortunately, bone marrow compatibility is a very rare, and in case of illness it is almost always necessary to contact the donor registry, of which only 1 in 100,000 are viable matches. Enormous progress has been made in the medical field that makes donation an absolutely safe and non-invasive process. 

Please join us in Padua on October 19 from 10 am to 7 pm in front of Palazzo Moroni, to begin the first screening with a simple salivary swab. Your sample will then be entered in the Italian Bone Marrow Donor Registry (IBMDR). Donors must be between 18 and 35 years of age, weighing at least 50 kg and in good health.

To participate just fill out the online request form.
