Urgent need for stem cell donors.
“I may be living with a rare and aggressive lymphoma and need a stem cell transplant, but I know I’m lucky. I have my beautiful family, I live in an incredible part of the world, I have my music and all that comes with it.
I’m also exceptionally lucky because I’m able to access the very best medical treatment and care, and because it looks highly likely that a matching stem cell donor will be found for me.
Only 30% of people will have a matching stem cell donor within their own family, which means the vast majority of people will need an unrelated stem cell donor. A complete stranger will likely provide a potentially life saving stem cell donation for me. My donor will be my one in a million, my chance of survival.
Currently, only 60% of patients will find a matching stem cell donor, making the need for new donors critical. Could you register to become a potential blood stem cell donor, and be someone’s one in a million?
My wife Jules and I have got to know others who like me need that second chance of life, and we want to do more. That’s why Love Hope Strength is launching the One in a Million campaign to register more people to become blood stem cell donors.
Think about your one in a million. Your partner, child, parent, or your best friend. Imagine if they need a stem cell donation.
Do something great today. Rally everyone you know to get on the list to potentially save a life now.”
