💜 Wearing Purple for MPS Awareness Day

Today, the Cord for Life team is wearing purple to raise awareness for Sanfilippo Syndrome.

Umbilical cord blood is an FDA-approved cellular therapy used in hematopoietic stem cell transplants for many serious diseases. Donations help make these life-saving stem cells available to patients who may need a transplant.

By donating cord blood, families can help give others hope, options, and the possibility of a second chance.
