This lovely lady is related to a friend of mine, and is desperately seeking a perfectly-matched bone marrow stem cell donor. She has acute myeloid leukemia. So far her two brothers have been ruled out, along with another potential donor who wasn't an exact match. Time is running out, and I'm hoping you will read the link below and share. There is info on how to put yourself forward in the UK.
From the article: "She is desperately seeking people who share her ethnic background of Irish and Anglo-Burmese to volunteer as potential stem cell donors. Anyone with a south Asian heritage could also be of benefit."
As another poster kindly pointed out on the other thread, the upper age limit is 55 if registering via the Delete Blood Cancer charity, whereas it's only 30 for the Anthony Nolan Trust.
For her sake, her family and two children let's hope a match is found. Thank you for reading
