Tatshat Asaturyan's Fundraiser
My Appeal
** All funds raised by our Walk of Life participants will be donated to the Armenia Fund!**
In solidarity and support of Artsakh and our people, we have decided to dedicate our annual virtual walk to “VICTORY ARTSAKH”. We will donate every dollar raised by our walkers from our Walk of Life to the Armenia Fund to go to this cause.
The name Walk of Life has never been more representative of our event and our collective mission!

My Cause
The Mission: Our mission is to save lives by recruiting and providing matched unrelated donors for bone marrow or stem cell transplantation to all Armenian and non-Armenian patients worldwide who are suffering from leukemia and other life-threatening blood related illnesses.
About the Organization:
Due to the unique genetic make-up of Armenians, it is nearly impossible to find suitable matches among the existing international registries. Hence the importance of establishing a registry that would help facilitate recruiting and identifying matched unrelated bone marrow donors for ethnic Armenians. Only 25% of patients inflicted with leukemia or other life-threatening blood disorders find donors within their families. The other 75% of patients’ lives depend on finding a perfectly matched unrelated donor.
Our Goals: Create and maintain the registry and data bank of information on Armenian donors. Increase the size of the registry. Coordinate and process donors for patient requests.
