WHAT IS GVHD DAY?

GVHD Day was established to symbolize an enduring solidarity with the GVHD community. It’s also a chance for you to get involved and help us raise awareness of GVHD.

The GVHD Alliance is made up of 9 organizations that share a commitment to helping people navigate GVHD, a disease that few have heard of, but that touches lives and families in lasting ways.

GVHD is our focus every day, and we believe that the most profound differences are made when we work together.

MY SIGNS. MY STORY.

Be a voice in our community, help others find relief, and hear from people impacted by GVHD.
