I’m a 53-year-old African Caribbean man living in the UK.  I was diagnosed with a rare type of lymphoma called Sezary syndrome in 2022.

To defeat this disease and recover my health, I need a stem cell transplant from a donor who shares my same tissue type.

I am a husband and father of two, currently battling a form of blood cancer called Myeloma.  A stem cell transplant is my only chance at survival.  Unfortunately, no compatible donor has been found in any of the global marrow donor registries yet. 

I’m a 48-year-old wife and mom of three girls ages 19, 17, & 14.  In December of 2020, I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and immediately transferred to the oncology department, given a bone marrow biopsy, and started on chemotherapy.

I am a 13 year old living in North Carolina, and currently battling a blood disorder called sickle cell anemia.  Unfortunately, sickle cell can be very painful, and a stem cell transplant is my only chance at a cure.

When the results of lab work prompt a call from your doctor requesting an immediate follow-up appointment, it’s rarely good.  That was the case for Ferruh Muktar in 2018 when he received the devastating news of a blood cancer diagnosis. 

Usually abnormal symptoms prompt people to see the doctor. In Cem’s case though, a routine doctor's visit revealed a potentially fatal illness that has changed him and his family's life.

Even with the odds stacked against him, Alex Sims has thrived in life against all early medical expectations. Diagnosed at a young age with an agressive and extremely rare condition, Alex and his family have been working non-stop to find Alex a marrow donor match that would give him the cure he needs to live a long, happy and healthy life.
