Bone marrow donor urgently needed for adopted 3 year old girl.
I read this in the Vancouver Sun Newspaper today.
Perhaps someone reading Asiaxpat can save the life of this little girl.
For more information here's the link.

Visit this website, it is self explanatory, I came close to a match 7 seven years ago. It is a wonderful thing to do and I hope some day to help someone. Get on their register.

Wonder if the couple also tried the Hong Kong Marrow Matching Fund?
chiki>Marrow matching is done through tissue types of which there are thousands - and only donors of the same ethnicity will be anywhere near close enough. Children of mixed married have a near-impossible task of finding a match.
The donor has to be in same hospital as the recipient, or very close. So there would be a free trip to Canada in it for the donor. The downside is that it's supposed to be very painful.

First stop is the HK Red Cross which has a registry of potential bone marrow donors:
