DESCRIPTION:

Since 1988, stem cells from umbilical cord blood have been used in research to treat several diseases. Over the past few decades, an increasing percentage of parents have been donating their children's cord blood or enrolling in family banking in hopes that stem cells from birth may be able to treat disease or save lives in the future.

Nearly 80 life-threatening diseases — from cancers to blood diseases to immune disorders — can be treated today using cord blood stem cells, including pediatric transplants, cerebral palsy, and Type One Diabetes. National Cord Blood Awareness Day seeks to educate parents and consumers about the necessity to bank cord blood for themselves and their family's future.
