**DKMS Foundation** is a dedicated non-profit organization that stands at the forefront of the global fight against blood cancer and other blood disorders, including thalassemia and aplastic anemia. Established in 1991 by Peter Harf, alongside his wife's physician Gerhard Ehninger, DKMS aims to provide hope and a second chance at life for patients by significantly expanding the network of stem cell donors. With the goal of improving patient outcomes, DKMS raises awareness about blood stem cell transplantation while encouraging individuals to register as potential donors.

The foundation operates the world’s largest stem cell donor registry, which has grown exponentially since its inception. DKMS also engages in various campaigns, programs, and virtual drives, empowering communities to get involved and contribute to this lifesaving mission. Their commitment is further reflected in ongoing science and research initiatives aimed at advancing treatment options for blood cancer. Through educational resources and heartfelt stories, DKMS inspires action and fosters a supportive community for patients and their families worldwide.
