Knowing that it is a donation like all others in France, anonymous and free. And in fact, people often have the impression that these are donations, we will necessarily take bone marrow by making a puncture at the level of either the sternum or the pelvis. However, ultimately 85 % of bone marrow donations can be made simply through a blood test.

Even just giving blood as a bone marrow donor is already great and it is needed because ultimately it is not only childhood cancers like leukemia that are needed. There are many diseases where they now perform bone marrow transplants as well.
