Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) Ah Siao, is planning yet another crazy stunt in his mission to save lives. He and his buddy, Junwei will trek a gruelling 1000 kilometres across some of Australia's harshest outback, the Bibbulmun Track, in just 20 days.

For each kilometre, he wants another person to sign up as a donor.

There is a 1 in 20,000 chance of finding a match so if another 1,000 people sign up in support of Ah Siao's long march, it can help us save lives.

Compared to trekking 1,000km, registering as a bone marrow donor is easy. Help fund our work and power on Ah Siao.

About NPO

The Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) manages Singapore's only register of volunteer bone marrow donors. For the past 20 years, BMDP has been providing that one chance of survival to hundreds of patients suffering from terminal blood-related diseases. When their only chance of survival is to have a bone marrow transplant and they have no matching siblings who can donate healthy blood stem cells, they come to us. With just a one in 20,000 chance of finding a matching donor, BMDP is absolutely committed to building the local donor register into a true national asset able to help all Singaporeans have that second chance; A Donor for every Patient is what we aim for.
