Christmas, two years ago: Margot found herself at Great Ormond Street Hospital, in desperate need of a bone marrow transplant to stand the best chances of survival. Her siblings were not a match, so we had to hope that an unrelated donor could be found on the stem cell register, with the same tissue type as our daughter, to provide her with the gift of life.
Today, 18 month old Hazel Richardson finds herself in a very similar situation having recently been diagnosed with a rare type of leukaemia (JMML).
Please do something amazing & register as a potential stem cell donor.
Ineligible ? Already registered ? Then please SHARE & tell someone how they can help.
