Stem Cell Transplant Awareness and Survivor Shirts | Bone Marrow Donor T-Shirts & Gifts > About Us

About Our Shop

I started my Stem Cell & Bone Marrow Transplant Survivor & Donor Awareness T-Shirt Shop after my life saving syngeneic stem cell transplant in which my twin sister donated her stem cells to save my life. It is now 3 years later and I am doing well. My motivation for creating this shop is because of my sister's generous gift and the importance of encouraging those who qualify to join the bone marrow registry with our selection of bold t-shirt designs that get noticed.

I dedicate this shop to my sister who without her I wouldn't be here today.

Please browse my shop and contact us if you should have any custom design request or questions.

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to medical and cancer research.

Hope, Believe, Love & Live

What is the difference between bone marrow and stem cell transplants?

Stem cell transplantation usually refers to cases of transplantation in which the stem cells are collected from the peripheral blood by apheresis. When stem cells are collected by harvesting them from the bone marrow, it is called bone marrow transplantation. Collecting stem cells from the blood stream is less inconvenient for the donor than harvesting stem cells from bone marrow, which requires hospitalization and general anesthesia. Stem cell collection is done on an outpatient basis.
