After being diagnosed with a rare type of bone mar

After being diagnosed with a rare type of bone marrow cancer two years ago, Hamilton Health Sciences patient Peter Clarke was inspired to create Your Match Matters, a non-profit organization that encourages people ages 17 to 35 from diverse backgrounds to join the Canadian Blood Services Stem Cell Registry.

Donors in that age range give patients undergoing a stem cell transplant the best chance of long-term survival, and many people worldwide have difficulty finding a match due to a lack of diversity in stem cell registries.

Though Peter will eventually need a transplant, he wasn’t motivated to launch Your Match Matters because of a personal search for a donor. Four potential matches have already been found for him. Instead, he wants help patients who are struggling to find a match.

“I was hearing stories of families frantically looking for matches for their family members,” says Peter, a retired environmental consultant and an avid cyclist. “I couldn't imagine the panic and helplessness they felt, and wanted to help change the odds.”
