Help this little boy live. The family and friends of 7 year-old Keiton are looking for mixed-race donors to give a small amount of blood to see if they might be compatible.
Keiton is 7 years old and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) in June 2003. Six weeks ago, in the last month of treatment he suffered a relapsed when the disease took another, very rare form of Leukaemia - Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia (AML). For this process to occur it is very unusual and extremely rare.
He is now an inpatient at The Royal Marsden in Sutton where he will having intensive chemotherapy and Radiotherapy before he has his Bone Marrow Transplant, which is the only way to cure him, with-out one he will die.
Because he is mixed race (white mother, black father) his tissue type is very unusual and they are still looking for a perfect match donor. The potential donor must be of the same parental background and be aged between 18 – 40 years old.
As a donor all you need to do is call 0207 284 1234 to find out where you can give a small amount of blood to see if you are a potential match. If you are, you will be called in to donate bone marrow – a simple and practically pain-free procedure. It will only take one day of your life to save Keiton’s.
