In honor of MDS World Awareness Day on October 25, join a powerful movement to amplify the voices of those impacted by MDS. By sharing your story, you can help support others, increase awareness of MDS, and drive change for a cancer too often overlooked.
Together, we're building a community and a collection of stories that honors real experiences, raises awareness, and leads into MDS World Awareness Day - and beyond. Your voice is a vital part of the story. Let it be heard.
It's easy on the MDS Exchange - our online community.
Just follow these steps:
To get started, log in to the MDS Exchange. If you’re new, simply create an account—it only takes a minute.
Click on Settings in the top menu, then select Edit Profile to update your information.

Your story matters. If you'd like to contribute your experience with MDS and inspire others in our community, we invite you to share. Your voice can make a meaningful impact and offer support to those on a similar journey.
Join the Voices of MDS as we shine a light on your stories for MDS World Awareness Day on October 25. Raise awareness, inspire others, and transform the future for all those impacted by MDS.
You can offer support and encouragement by commenting on their posts—and don't forget to check for any messages left on your own. Together, we can amplify the voices of MDS and help those impacted by these rare blood cancers.

By sharing your story, you help others feel less alone, raise awareness of available support, and celebrate the resilience that defines our community.
