There Goes My Hero

Bone marrow donor registry drives - in 2023 we had 64 bone marrow drives across Maryland and the country. 552 bone marrow swabs and this resulted the organization helping 4 patients in need of a transplant.

The Hero fund was established to help pay for the unanticipated costs of treatment for patients with blood cancer, including co-pays for medication, meals for patients, medically tailored meals post-discharge, round-trip transportation, parking vouchers, and in-home care. Our Hero fund is able to fill the gaps of blood cancer treatment by providing support for emergent needs and unanticipiated expenditures that may not be covered by insurance or other sources of funding. Since launching the Hero fund, in january 2019, There Goes My Hero has since partnered with the harry j. duffy patient and family services program of john hopkins medical institutions, the hackerman-patz patient and family pavilion, moveable feast, and the university of Maryland medical center to further extend our reach and services within the greater baltimore area.
