Jason's Story | Mission | Marrow Me | News & Events
 
At nine years of age, Jason Cox was sick and suffering from aplastic anemia, a rare and serious blood disorder.  Doctors informed Jason and his family that the only possible cure for his illness was a bone marrow transplant.  Although only 30% of patients find a transplant match within their family, Jason's older brother James was a match and the transplant saved Jason's life

Since then, Jason has grown into a vibrant philanthropist who founded and serves as president of Marrow Match™.  He is a dancer, an athlete and a performer who has dedicated his life to effecting change within the transplant community.  He is a native of San Antonio, Texas with close ties to the community and an outgoing personality that seeks to connect and help those in need.

In 2008, Jason began training for the grueling Ironman Triathlon to raise awareness about the serious need for viable, dedicated and ethnically diverse bone marrow donors.  He coined the phrase "Marrow Me?" and "engaged" dozens of new volunteers in the effort to add new donors to the Be The Match Registry.

Jason is entirely focused on leading Marrow Match™ with passion, creativity and bold determination.  He knows what it is like to fight for life and narrowly escape death with the help of others.
