Hello,  
 
Did you know that donating stem cells can help save a life, and registering is as easy as some online paperwork and a cheek swab?  
 
My friend''s 1 year old son, Tegveer, is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). He is in urgent need of a stem cell transplant from an unrelated donor between the ages of 18 - 35 years. If you can help, please go to a Canadian Blood Services location and ask to register as a stem cell donor, or complete the online registration. More information about becoming a stem cell donor can be found at:

Thanks! I updated it so it should work now.

I have been on the unrelated bone marrow donor registry for many years now. Still hoping that someday I am a match to someone!

Personally I don't fit the criteria but I will offer my stuff to take off an hour with pay to go and register tomorrow.  
 
good luck Tegveer and Family!
