Why should you share the gift of cord blood banking with other expecting parents?
-
Knowledge is power — every expecting parent should be informed of the value of cord blood stem cells so they can make a choice whether to bank their baby’s cord blood.
-
Current and future uses of stem cells — while stem cells are used to treat nearly 70 diseases today, research and development of new therapies using stem cells are progressing rapidly so that one day stem cell transplants will be used for heart disease, liver disease, strokes, diabetes and more.
-
Siblings and family members benefit too — using cord blood from a relative for treatments can double survival rates versus using cord blood from someone outside the family.
-
Only one chance — At birth is the only time to preserve their baby’s cord blood which is routinely discarded at birth.
-
You benefit too! — Every time your referral banks you earn a free year of storage. And, there is no limit as to the number of years you can earn free storage.

Nine years ago, Keegan had a cord blood transplant using his little brother’s cord blood stem cells. His parents saved the cord blood never expecting to need it. But they did, and it saved Keegan’s life. "If it weren’t for him, I wouldn't be here," states Keegan.

"Many families believe that the cord blood is only good, so to speak, for the child from whom it's collected. Families need to know that the cord blood can also be utilized by siblings and possibly the mother as well and potentially other relatives."
