2014 Report to the Community | 3 Thank you for saving our daughter’s life and keeping our family whole. —Taneika: mother and caregiver of transplant recipient Jade WE ARE GRATEFUL

When JADE was just a toddler, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). “We floored. It was hard to swallow because she wasn’t even two years old,” says Taneika. But Jade’s bright, bubbling spirit kept the family going and, after eight months and five rounds of chemotherapy, Jade was in remission. Like any parent, Taneika was overjoyed, but she privately worried that it was too good to be true. “Our family had a renewed sense of living life to the fullest, but it always felt like I was looking over my shoulder.” The remission lasted almost two years, but then, just a few weeks shy of her fourth birthday, Jade’s family received heartbreaking news. Her leukemia had returned. But there was hope—a transplant could save her life. Doctors located an umbilical cord blood match and Jade celebrated her “re-birthday” in July. The special day was filled with celebration banners, cupcakes and Jade’s favorite thing in the world—music. By day 29, tests showed the transplant had been a success. Jade is currently healthy, happy and cancer free.

“We are eternally grateful to the mother who made Jade’s transplant possible when she donated her newborn baby’s cord blood, to Be The Match for facilitating her gift and to Jade’s medical team for their incredible support. Thank you for saving our daughter’s life Learn how your baby’s umbilical cord blood could save a life. and keeping our family whole.”

DENISSE, a senior at Christopher Newport University, is her campus president of Be The Match On Campus®—a fast-growing program currently active on 90 college campuses, that encourages students to raise funds, raise awareness and add potential marrow donors to the Be The Match Registry®. Denisse learned about the program during her freshman year. “My childhood best friend had leukemia. It astounded me and gave me hope to learn that swabbing my cheek could result in a match for someone in need of a marrow transplant,” Be The Match On Campus volunteer she says. “I immediately wanted to get involved.” A biology major with hopes of becoming a pediatric oncologist, Denisse describes her GROWING THE RIGHT REGISTRY leadership role with Be The Match On Campus as life changing. “I tend to be shy. Letting go of my fear to educate my peers about marrow donation has made me a better speaker and When a patient’s life depends on receiving taught me to put others’ needs before my own,” she explains. “Plus, I love to talk about the a transplant, they need a matched marrow donor science and the idea of matching as ‘DNA soul mates.’” who is committed and available when called.

And because healthy, diverse donors age 18–44 provide the greatest chance for a successful transplant, peer-to-peer campus recruitment is a great way to help every patient find the best chance for a cure. WE STRIVE TO: • Increase diversity • Attract committed donors • Fundraise to support the mission • Add more umbilical cord blood units • Partner with clinicians to provide optimal care

2014 Report to the Community | 7 By mobilizing funds, the Be The Match Patient Assistance Fund helps ensure every patient can get the transplant they need. We are honored to be included in the fight.

—John and Caryn Camiolo: Patient Assistance Endowment founders WE ARE PASSIONATE

In 1994, JOHN AND CARYN CAMIOLO watched a news story about Baseball Hall of Fame legend Rod Carew; his daughter’s cancer journey and their desperate struggle to find her a matching marrow donor. Parents themselves, the Camiolo’s empathized with Rod’s plea and knew they wanted to get involved. Soon after, John and Caryn started hosting marrow drives to encourage people to join the registry. “We encountered numerous patient families struggling with transplant-related expenses including travel, housing, deductibles and copayments. These costs were debilitating for many families. We felt called to help.” John and Caryn became very involved with Be The Match. As key financial supporters, they established the John and Caryn Camiolo Patient Assistance Endowment Fund to help ensure that patients experiencing financial strain could afford the marrow transplant and post-transplant care they needed. Bella: leukemia patient “Be The Match Patient Assistance is important because it helps families through an experience that can be the darkest period in a family’s history,” says John. “A parent, spouse, or child falling SUPPORTING PATIENTS, FAMILIES seriously ill puts a terrible strain on even the most stable families.

—Becky: transplant recipient, BMT nurse coordinator, cancer researcher, patient advocate WE ARE CLINICIANS 48

19 91 BECKY is a bone marrow transplant (BMT) nurse at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, one of our Network transplant centers. We work with clinicians like Becky every day to help patients before, during and after transplant. While all nurses give patients and families hope, Becky has something 42 100 extra special to offer—her own experience as a transplant recipient. Network When Becky was just 18 years old, she received a marrow transplant for chronic myeloid leukemia, with her sister as her donor. The transplant was a success and allowed Becky to return to college. Then, just weeks before graduating as a nursing major, Becky received heartbreaking news. 40 181 Her cancer had relapsed. Over the next 18 years, Becky’s doctors used medications and donor lymphocyte infusions to manage her cancer, but she struggled to stay healthy. “I could never make it past the three-year 19 mark. The cycle of relapse and remission became my new normal,” says Becky. “I love working with patient families, but when I couldn’t because my immune system was vulnerable, I worked as a BMT research nurse. It was rewarding to help further the science.” In 2010, after her sixth relapse, Becky’s doctors decided it was time for a different approach. OUR GLOBAL NETWORK OF CARE A search began for an unrelated marrow donor and three fully matched donors were located. From the moment doctors search our registry “Not every patient has a match.

—Ron: two-time marrow donor WE ARE COMMITTED

RON joined the Be The Match Registry during a recruitment drive at his high school. Little did he realize he would be someone’s match not once, but twice. Eight years after joining, we contacted Ron as a potential match. “I was nervous, excited and, honestly, a little scared.” But he was committed to going through with it. The nurses put Ron at ease about his peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donation. “It was surprisingly simple,” he said. “I felt tired, but good. I was really happy knowing I helped save a life.” Although his recipient eventually passed away, Ron learned that his donation gave her more precious time to spend with her children and grandchildren. In 2011, Ron was contacted again and donated marrow for a patient diagnosed with leukemia. “I remember getting anesthesia, then waking up later wondering where the time went.” About two weeks later, Ron returned to work and resumed his normal schedule. Ron recently met his recipient, Marla. They’ve become friends on Facebook and chat over the phone. “A marrow transplant was my only chance Ron encourages others to join the registry. “Don’t let your fears dictate your actions. If you for survival…I just kept looking at that bag have questions and concerns, ask Be The Match. They’ll give you resources to help you make of stem cells and thinking, ‘this is going to an educated decision.” save my life and get me back home’…I was so thankful for the man who went through this process for a complete stranger, and I just kept praying for God to bless his life.”

LOREN GRAGERT is a senior scientist in our Bioinformatics Research Department. “When I was a senior in high school, I read an article in Wired Magazine, about the emerging field of bioinformatics—the place where genetics and computer science intersect.
