SPECIAL HUMAN INTEREST STORY
WANTED: One Stem Cell Donor For Sina
Cologne / Kamp-Lintfort - The
10-year-old Sina from KampLintfort is to MDS ill. Only a
stem cell donation from a
matched donor can help her.
To help her and other patients
who organized DKMS German
Bone Marrow Donor-profit organization mbH on 18/05/2014
a registration action. Everyone
can
help: If you are healthy and
aged between 18 and 55 years, must register as a donor
and everyone can donate money to allow the typing financially.
Lintfort
Anyone can participate in principle, any healthy person
between 18 and 55 years. After filling out a consent form
to the donor are taken five milliliters
of blood, so that its tissue characteristics determined (typed) can be.
Donors who already had registered
in the past in an action itself, must
not rejoin the action. Your data remain available for all patients.
Equally important is also the financial support of the action. Registration and typing of a donor cost to
DKMS 50 euros. As a non-profit organization, DKMS is
dependent on the donor renewal extraction solely on donations. In order to carry out the planned action at all, we
need your financial help! Every euro counts!
MDS is a disorder of the hematopoietic system. Sina can
only survive if it - somewhere in the world - a man with
almost the same tissue characteristics in the blood are
willing to donate stem cells. But how do you find such a
donor? It is very rare that two people have nearly identical
tissue characteristics. In the best case, the probability is
1:20,000, with rare tissue features can be found possibly
with several million no 'genetic twin'. However, the search
is also so hard because still are too few people as potential stem cell donor is available. Because: Who can not be
included on a donor can not be found.
DKMS donations account for Sina:

To help Sina and stakeholders, organize friends and family together with the DKMS registration action and hope
that as many people from the region can determine the
tissue characteristics of their blood. Anyone who is a potential stem cell donors in the DKMS can absorb another
chance for patients worldwide and maybe tomorrow will
be the giver of life. The action will take place on:
Sunday, May 18, 2014 from 11:00 am bis 17:00 clock in
